    Show Us Your Purchases....GUYS !

    My Saturday Day Run ! I try to go out early on Saturday mornings and hit the thrift stores for the kind of clothing that I like . The best part of dressing "vintage " it that the stuff is dirt cheap ! I have some suits that cost me upwards of a $1,000.00 but nothing makes you feel better...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Last night I went to the Cumberland Fest , an outdoor event with the rides and the whole bit to see my son's band play. I must have gotten between 6 and 9 kodo's throughout the night. I wore a brown suit with a light yellow shirt, art deco 40's tie and brown wide brimmed fedora. The kodos...

    Harking for a simpler time.....

    Chinese "Junk"

    While I do agree with your statements and you are in fact correct , what bothers me is that when we made things they were of good quality BUT they were also not expensive per say , so where is the trade off. IMHO we need as a nation to get back to making things for ourselves and stop sending all...

    The Streetcar/Trolley/Tram/Electric Railway Thread

    What I should have stated was that now the streets that the trolleys used to run on allow for car parking on both sides of the street PLUS two way traffic and then the trolley tracks would have to be in the middle of the street making it almost impossible and impassable for a trolly to run...

    Chinese "Junk"

    How many of you Forum members are fed up with buying Chinese junk ,when you have to replace something . I had one of those G.E. chrome toaster's ,you know the ones with the "double loop " design on the sides of it . You could take a sledge hammer to it , it lasted me for years but the coil...

    Disney's Carousel of Progress

    I just saw this at Disney about three weeks ago and I loved it ! I think the 1930's part of it was the best although the voice activated oven got a chuckle out of me as the smoke poured out of it. All the Best ,Fashion Frank

    Golden Era Fourth

    I don't know about the rest of the Forum members here but I deck out my house with a lot of bunting ,I already have a 20 ft. flagpole in the front yard but I also put a smaller flag on the front porch of the house.

    Correct Telephone Habits

    I agree with you on that . Doesn't that get your goat how they have the gaul to circumvent the system and call it a survey. I remember a Sienfelt skit where the local newspaper ring's him up and asks him if he would like to take out a subscription and he answers "yes " and them promptly hangs...
