    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Polaroid Land Camera I haven't done much thrift shopping but today I found this old Polaroid. I don't know anything about them but it seems to function properly. A little rust on the inside but seems in good shape otherwise. I figured I couldn't go wrong for $5.99. Anyone able to tell me...

    Vintage inspired videos

    Ok, these videos are from the early '80's (which some people consider vintage in and of themselves) but they have a vintage look and sound to them(arguably). I personally enjoy watching and listening to them. It does take some patience for the videos to load up though. Donald Fagen-New...

    What Are You Reading

    "L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America's Most Seductive City" by John Buntin, non-fiction. A great read so far, especially makes a good companion piece if you like James Ellroy's L.A. quartet. Recently finished Ken Bruen's "Headstone", another installment in the Jack Taylor series...

    Seen any kids dressed like this lately?

    Yes, seening as they are above the knee I guess they are short pants. The sign is old though considering that modern signs are more of an androgynous stick figure symbol. :)

    Nike Missle Sites or how close you were to the Cold War

    Seeing those giant B-36's in low level flight must've been a sight to see! "This is NOT a test", what a chilling statement to hear on the TV or radio back in 1962! How old were you? Just curious if you were old enough to understand what might happen next.

    Nike Missle Sites or how close you were to the Cold War

    To go along with my post about CONELRAD, I thought I'd post some pics of Nike missle sites. If you lived near a large metropolitan or industrial center from the '50's to the '70's, chances were good you lived close to an anti-aircraft missle site. I can't even imagine such a system today, but...
