    Old gas stations

    I'd never heard of Jenney before. I got all Googly and found it's a New England brand, started in Boston by a guy named Stephen Jenny selling coal, kerosene and whale oil. Looks like he did alright for himself.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Assume whatever you'd like. DeNiro or anyone else is absolutely free to say whatever they want to. Just as I am absolutely free to not watch his movies.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Some years ago there was a cemetery owner from my home county who was convicted and sent to prison for stealing prepaid funeral plan money and selling the same plots to multiple people among other things. I no longer recall the final outcome of how or whether the families involved were taken...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've been hearing and reading this too. I suppose in a perfect world that it would all work as smoothly as it does in the computer model, but my observation is that between indecision, incompetence and a few folks who are just posterior orifices it doesn't really work that well. I shall continue...

    And something more here here as well?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Too many people spend every waking moment in perpetual anger just looking for the smallest, most minor reason to erupt. I doubt most could even truly articulate what they are angry about.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Mad Men was absolutely wonderful. Right up until it went completely off the rails and became absolutely ridiculous.

    There's our favorite wagon again. I've seen it in so many different pictures I've decided it must have belonged to the photographer.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    I know it didn't end well for the Finns but you have to respect their effort. They made the Soviets pay dearly for every inch they took.

    Vintage neon signs

    ^^^ Is that Alaska? I've seen similar pictures from a giant earthquake they had in 1964 or 65.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    De Niro has completely turned me off from watching anything he appears in with his inability to keep his mouth shut about politics. It is irrelevant whether I agree or disagree with the position taken by singers, actors, or anybody else in high visibility positions. I trade my money to watch or...

    Vintage roadside

    ^^^ We had a few of these around years ago. The last one that I know of closed 3 or 4 years ago. The company is still in business, but apparently small towns aren't in their business plan anymore.

    Clicking on your link shows me a very needy, insecure woman who instead of being cremated upon her death will be recycled into Tupperware. Sad.

    Not being a follower of football, I had to ask Google who Patrick is. I agree.

    Crazy

    "However, police were reportedly later sent out to guard the artwork once the banana was replaced." I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions as to whether we are at the bottom of the barrel yet.

    "Has Johnny really nothing to satorially rebel against?", or "Is 'the look' dead?"

    But sometimes every little bit we can export helps.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Mine too. I think it's human nature. Rickey was an important influence in at least 3 regions during his career, but we all tend to see our own local history as most important.

    No reserve! 15 grand and you still have to pay shipping?

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Not in this part of the world. The mention of his name here is permanently linked to St. Louis. I doubt anybody in Cardinal Nation outside of a few hardcores would link him to anywhere else.

    GHT my good man I fear you give USPS too much credit.
