Show us your Guns!
Well, here in TN we have a carry permit, not a concealed carry permit. Open carry is perfectly legal here. But to get back to the original topic, here's a quintessential Golden Age rifle, a Remington Model 14-A in .30 Remington. Vintage October 1924; if tis rifle were clothing, she would be a...- plain old dave

Vintage or Modern Radio Drama Recommendations?
I have a nominee: "Unshackled!" A religious program, it started profiling clients of Chicago's Pacific Garden Mission and has broadened in scope. Real stories of people overcoming tremendous obstacles. If you get to Chicago, I don't recall which night it is but they DO offer tours with the...- plain old dave

How Did You Discover Old Time Radio?
Back in the 70s, Krystal had a series of OTR radio programs on thin plastic records. I specifically remember a Lone Ranger episode. Now, on drill weekends, I will go out in the evenings just so I can be in the car and listen to 94.7 in Chattanooga (North GA, really) as they have OTR all Saturday...- plain old dave

American Accents in the Golden Era
Outstanding... One of the buildings in downtown Maryville still has the Golden Age "Best By Taste Test" ad painted on it. Would take the text, but it insists I need to upgrade my browser. Which there's nothing wrong with.- plain old dave

American Accents in the Golden Era
We're right on the line between "coke" and "pop" as a generic for any Coke/Pepsi/RC/Whatever.... Gold star for the first poster that can place the pop that's best by taste test.- plain old dave

American Accents in the Golden Era
Appalachia (pronounced 'apple-atcha' NOT 'apple-laysha' like them people on the weather channel insist on pronouncing it) is one of the very last holdouts for a specific accent. Maryville, TN is pronounced "Murvyl" and there are T-shirts that say "Murvyl" on them. We proudly end our...- plain old dave

New Kind of Thread Idea: Your Vintage Life
United States Deputy Marshal Lyndon Thibidoux walked down the long steps of the Federal Courthouse with the Special Prosecutor. “You know, Counselor, most of the time this here is just a job.

New Kind of Thread Idea: Your Vintage Life
Deputy Marshal Lyndon Thibidoux had spent most of the day just doing... nothing at the National Security Directorate. He had a client that was ostensibly in the Witness Protection Program, but the NSA people were doing the majority of the leg work. He never had really cared for the Intel spooks...- plain old dave

"Frances, will you step into my office please? Agent Reading, Agent Lodge, will you please escort Mrs. Hutchins back to her room and see that she remains -- comfortable.

Special Agent Reading made his way through the line at the cafeteria. Got his usual breakfast: Oatmeal with brown sugar, coffee, orange juice and a banana.

Frances was sitting in her room at the Guest Quarters. It was well after 5, and she had had yet another full day at the Labs. Yet more questions from the physicists and now a few doctors. Thankfully, though, these doctors weren't shrinks like Gordon. They seemed to be honestly making sure she...- plain old dave

Special Agent Reading was, for once, somewhat confused.
