    Sears might be going belly up

    I do some online shopping for new things, but still prefer seeing what I'm buying. I also do not like the hassle involved with returning items that don't fit or I do not like after they arrive. While it may not be the norm, my boss has been piddling with a pair of boots for 2 weeks with try on...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    ^^ Agreed. We watched it a while back on YouTube. I've sat through worse, but once was enough.

    Magnum P.I. reboot

    I have always enjoyed his work as well. Especially the westerns. Unfortunately he has developed rheumatoid arthritis and it has progressed to the point that I'm not sure how much longer he will be able to work. It's a horrible disease that members of my family have been afflicted with. I...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I don't wear ties regularly given my occupation, but I enjoy the opportunity to be well dressed when it presents itself. I occasionally attend church with my wife and always wear at minimum a shirt and tie. That or a suit used to be standard attire in her congregation but I have noticed a steady...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    Geraldo Rivera got a lot of mileage out of similar claims involving Al Capone's vault. He found some scrap lumber and a wine bottle.

    Deco Deliveries

    Yeah, that's the one. I dunno about how the alien function is working out, but the weather control function sucks a hind one.

    Old gas stations

    The end of the local station was a huge blow to small towns whether they realized it at the time or not. They were community gathering places that kept a lot of people from becoming isolated and they provided services that were otherwise not available without going to larger towns. No you...

    Deco Deliveries

    The style reminds me of the Admiral showboat that was in St. Louis for many years. She has been scrapped now. This picture also shows the arch being built behind her.

    Deco Deliveries

    Auto designer spots an upside down bathtub laying outside a house on his way to work. He is suddenly seized with an idea that won't go away. "Hey Frank, take a look at this drawing." "Waddaya think?"

    Vintage neon signs

    They called it Tropicaire because watching a movie in July and August was hotter than the 3rd circle of Hades.

    Did People Wear Vintage in the Golden Era?

    Not that it was it was intentional, but a lot of people didn't give up on a garment because of a bit of wear or because it was out of style. If it was usable, they wore it. Like furniture, few peoples homes looked like the pictures we think of from mid century ads. Pieces were seen from new to...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    In my world of working with tradesmen Sally is used as an insult to someone's masculinity. If somebody is struggling to accomplish a task somebody else will pipe up with "try hitting it with your purse Sally!" Among younger people I'm told Sally is used as a way to describe what the speaker...
