    The Milwaukee Clipper: A Forgotten Art Deco Beauty Rusting on Muskegon’s Waterfront

    We could spend days talking about Muskegon's economy and how that relates to issues within Michigan as a whole. If it's not Muskegon or Milwaukee, I don't think there's a community up for saving the Clipper. What Muskegon needs to do is swallow its pride and try to attract some investors from...

    The Milwaukee Clipper: A Forgotten Art Deco Beauty Rusting on Muskegon’s Waterfront

    Good idea! I'm not a gambler, so it didn't occur to me. The casino floor could be the old ferry deck. -Dave

    "Who is John Galt?" 21st century art, evocative of the Golden Age

    That's a great painting. It draws me in, makes me want to write a story and work on a model railroad. Thanks! -Dave

    The Milwaukee Clipper: A Forgotten Art Deco Beauty Rusting on Muskegon’s Waterfront

    Meet the Milwaukee Clipper, built circa 1906 as the Juniata for the Pennsylvania Railroad’s steamship company, she was refit circa 1940 to art deco splendor. The refit also included a new, steel superstructure, a false forward funnel, air conditioned staterooms, a children's playroom, a...

    Bow Ties

    Message boards need a "Like" button. And I need either a maroon-and-gold bow or a gray-and-blue. Probably the former, as my law school has no sports teams. -Dave

    Reproduction classic workwear

    Hey... How come you guys always post pics of stuff on hangers? I want to see some "Reproduction classic workwear in action" shots! -Dave

    Show us your Guns!

    Ok, Argentina is ringing bells with me. I nearly got my C&R FFL just to acquire one. The gun shops around here are sadly deficient in military surplus type arms. They’re very high-tech hunting and/or tactical home-defense oriented. -Dave

    Show us your Guns!

    Lots of people copied the M1911 also. The Spanish, in particular, seemed fond of building everybody else's pistols. I want one of the South American, Colt-licensed 1911s myself (I think they're called Model 1927s? Was it Argentina or Brazil? Somebody help me out here). They're cheap and...

    The Cap Faction

    Great post, Sid, although I must say I think all of the caps suit you. You're a very natural cap wearer. -Dave

    What do you use to shave?

    If all I had were those cheap throwaways, I'd probably wear a beard too! :D -Dave

    Reproduction classic workwear

    My wife bought the gray one for me on sale. Very comfortable and perfect for the cold-and-rainy weather we're experiencing right now. I just wish I had a large, stone fireplace in front of which to lounge instead of a small, brick, coal burner. Beware, I found it ran a bit small in the...

    Boater faction!

    I really get a kick out of this: I think a boater could make a great casual hat, if you've got the panache (and the gow job?) to back it up. -Dave

    Uh oh, Bourne, I hate to disappoint, but I'm pretty sure this year's was the last Hunnert Car Pileup. -Dave

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    A neat piece, but Jalopnik is incorrect in stating that this is "the (only) chance to own the closest thing you can find to the original 1954 Chevrolet Nomad concept". Superior Glassworks has tooled up to produce a limited-production run of Waldorf Nomads. Still, you'd probably be money...

    "Holy Grail" Suit I Wouldn't Have Expected

    Let's not go that far! I was responding to the "boring" comment, not suggesting that this was a good price for that suit. -Dave

    "Holy Grail" Suit I Wouldn't Have Expected

    I would wear that suit in a minute. Maybe I am boring. My wardrobe has this strange mix of preppy and midwestern to it. Frayed button downs and three-rolled-to-two sport coats occupying the same space as double-welted Florsheims and pleated pants. I blame Detroit. -Dave
