    Your favourite smell

    Smells that take me back, those are the best. Leaded gasoline, though I've not smelled it in perhaps twenty years, was always a favorite.

    After delay, I finally saw it for myself yesterday in Pasadena, loved it! :eusa_clap

    Get Low

    I'm really anxious to see this! -Dave Like many great actors of narrow range, Robert Duvall and Bill Murray — both leads in the resonant new indie film Get Low — have grown thoroughly fused in the public mind with the misanthropic loners they habitually play. Try picturing Duvall as Santa...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    I met one at the Cicada Club in Los Angeles...don't think I'd do that again though. I now prefer meeting people outside of the "scene." Would be nice to know where else to look though, for someone of similar mindset. It can be disappointing when a woman just doesn't "get it," but that's still...

    1941 Queen Elizabeth HS to be demolished

    Gorgeous design, though the structure appears weathered and compromised. What's the reason given for demolition?

    Terrorism in the "Golden Era"

    I have to agree, seems to me the Great War would fall into this category.

    Terrorism in the "Golden Era"

    I'm disappointed you felt it necessary to turn this thread into something political. Might I point out, motivation for the bombing at the World's Fair was not given.

    Terrorism in the "Golden Era"

    Pardon, where do you see a political slant? It's an historic account of an event at the World's Fair.

    Terrorism in the "Golden Era"

    An example of how the past had its own problems, not all that different from our own... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128216755 "We like to think of those days as innocent, softened by the selective memory of nostalgia, but prewar New York City was perhaps as dangerous...

    New "Murder On the Orient Express" article and interview with Christie's grandson

    I'm very much looking forward to David Suchet's portrayal, he is always enjoyable. Must admit, I don't care for the '74 version, as I found it over the top and cheesy.

    Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

    Saw it tonight in Pasadena, loved it! Frankly, I wasn't sure whether or not I was expecting too much after reading critiques of the film, but it turned out to be one of the finest films I've ever seen. I found myself identifying with Stravinsky...too bad I'm not nearly as talented. The...

    Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

    I'm so anxious to see this! -Dave A persuasive depiction of the tempestuous affair of two 20th-century titans, Jan Kounen’s “Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky” comes closer than most films to capturing the selfish competitive passion of egomaniacal geniuses locked in erotic combat. Arrogant...

    Crown Coach, the Royalty of Pupil Transportation and Fire Apparatus

    Crowns in Limbo These two Crowns, a "Supercoach" and a "Supercoach II", are actually the same age, essentially only different in their front and back design. The original design, on the left, remained discernibly the same more than forty years, only being discontinued when Crown went out of...

    Crown Coach, the Royalty of Pupil Transportation and Fire Apparatus

    Just before going out of business, Crown brought out their Supercoach II. Essentially the same body with restyled fiberglass ends, it allowed the installation of a Detroit Diesel 6V92. Rialto, California, where I grew up, received a fleet of Supercoach IIs in 1991 as part of a clean air...
