    The Golden Age of the Streetcar

    The very first street cars were horse drawn carriages in the late 1800s. So far as I know they were operated by private companies although they required a concession from the city to put their rails down in city streets. Electric cars came later. Then came the automobiles which cut into street...

    Vintage televisions, anyone? Post pics here!

    This movie, Manhattan Merry Go Round, is the earliest movie to show a television set in operation, so far as I know. It was released in November 1937.

    What hat with a tuxedo?

    The Tuxedo was invented as a less formal formal wear for summertime. Named after Tuxedo Park in New York, the Tuxedo jacket was first worn in public in America by Griswold Lorillard, can you beat that name? So it seems logical that a less formal hat could be worn with it.

    Skin salves or balms before the 1920s?

    I can't tell you the names but your local pharmacy or general store would have had a variety of salves and ointments in the patent medicine section along with the liniments and liver pills. By the date you name patent medicines were well established, mass produced and widely distributed.

    What do you do for Living?

    I try to avoid work whenever possible. But I used to work in a fruitcake foundry, manufacturing fruitcakes for the Christmas trade. We made 132 different brands of fruitcake distributed all over North America.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Speaking of things that have disappeared and political correctness gone mad, have any of you bird seed fans noticed that you can no longer buy Niger seed at your local hardware store? It is now Nyjer seed. I kid you not.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    You don't have to be an old coot to have white hair. I am now but my hair turned gray when I was 26. I think the same thing happened to Steve Martin.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I use a hair dressing with blue in it. It makes my hair look white and not dull and yellow. If women with white or gray hair use a blue rinse it does the same, if they overdo it, the hair turns blue. I suspect this is how blue hair started, hairdressers overdid the blue rinse that was supposed...

    Everybody beats up Justin Trudeau. He will knuckle under to anybody, as long as it is against the interests of the Canadian people.

    If you had a conversation with a person in 1770 would they understand?

    You are thinking of the Victorians. They could be pretty rude in the 1700s. On the other hand if you were not a practicing Christian you were a weirdo. It would be best to attend church and pay it lip service like everyone else.

    What are you snacking on?

    The store had pumpkin and cranberry flavored tortilla chips on sale so I gave them a whirl. They are pleasant but don't taste much of pumpkin or cranberries. But, they are less salty than regular tortilla chips and go well with salsa.
