Any idea what city this is from? Great photo.
It also messes up those of us who bookmark the last page so we know where to pick up again when we come back. Looks like we're up to near 30 pages...

Looking at the shadows being cast in the bridge photo, I would tend to think this is on the west or south borders of Iowa instead of a bridge over...
[IMG] Is this by chance Bemidji, MN? We went up there many times for vacation growing up in the '60s. I don't remember much other than the Paul...
You know that's a photo of a bunch of die-cast model cars, right?
Those are the F4U-5N Corsairs. They were the 4 cannon, night fighter versions and came out very late in WWII. They all had a radar pod mounted on...
[IMG] Please pass the maple syrup. Why am I so hungry for pancakes all of a sudden?
My guess would be 1946 or earlier. Wasn't the red bar added to the insignia in 1947?
That chick with the cigarette is really a mannequin, right?
Great photo. Thanks for posting. Yes. This view is looking SW on Ogden (IL Rte 34) from Cermak in Chicago. The triangular corner building...
I didn't say this was the first McDonald's. I said this was Ray Kroc's first franchised McDonald's. This is the first one he built and opened...
[IMG] That is a modern photo of Ray Kroc's 1st francised McD's in DesPlaines, IL. It's about 10 minutes north of O'Hare Airport and it's a...

Unfortunately, this is a modern photo of the parking lot at the McDonald's Museum on Lee St in DesPlaines, IL.

Is that Sharon Tate?
Betty White?
The C-47 (DC-3) was made by Douglas. Those all look to be Boeing planes in the photo. Not sure what designation the twin engine personnel...
Are you referring to a fat girl? :D

Governor's limo? License plate #1, flag holder on the front fender and a siren speaker behind the grille.
A plastic model? At least it's an old snapshot.
It's not that difficult to do, right Gary?
The most annoying thing about the "quote" feature is that sometimes you have to scroll through the same photos again just to see someone's one or...
[IMG] Why is that dude wearing a white tutu?
The old Custom House Museum in Monterey Bay. First built in 1814 and finished in the late 1840s. The street is long gone now and it's park of a...
