    Show us your vintage home!

    Hi Fading Fast, Your tile work looks great ! That is exactly what I remember my bathroom having in the house in Bucyrus Ohio. Are tiles like that still availble today, or did you salvage them ?

    The Role of Education In Assigning Value to Societal Labor Sectors

    Lizzie sums it up very well. The world has always worked in that someone has to loose inorder for someone else to make a gain.

    Vintage neon signs

    Hi Fading Fast, I will see if I have anything in a couple of boxes of old photos I still have. I doubt it though as I never really took photos in the bathroom. It was very good work that even then reminded me if Doctors offices when I was a kid in the early 60's. That might be a place for...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Shock for me as well when I heard this. David Bowie was a part of growing up for me, always good and diferent music. He was very creative right up until the end. He will be missed.

    Vintage neon signs

    I lived in a house in Bucyrus Ohio year ago that was built in 1925. The main bathroom was entirely original and had tiles as you describe. There was some tile work left in the kitchen that was the same as well. Good to know after all these years what the reason was behind the tiles other than...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Thanks, I had a feeling it was heathen, but was not sure, the point about the Holy Fathers From Marketing is a good one.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Lizzie, I know exactly what you are talking about, your description is right on. I grew up in the 1960's and was confronted with what you describe all the time. My dad was a factory and construction worker, union member and blue collar to the core and would always point out to my brother and...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    My parents bought all of their appliances at Wards, very good quality indeed. When my Mom passed on in 2007 she still had an electric range from Wards that was a good 30 years old and still working fine.

    Deutschland 83

    I moved to Germany in 1992 so had a good look at the still very visable differences between east and west. I have seen the TV program Deutschland 83 and it is pretty much on the mark from what I have as a reference ( early 1990's ) Germany. My wife, who is native German, agrees too, and says...

    The "real" cool cats.

    Monroeville Indiana for me, 20 miles east of Fort Wayne, it is a small world indeed. What HD has written is on the mark, my family moved from California to Monroeville in 1968 when I was 9 years old, and it was culture shock. When my Mom enrolled my brother and I in the local grade school...

    How often do you dress vintage/vintage inspired?

    On a daily basis I always try to add a classical, or a vintage note to how I dress, this goes for shoes, suits, and things like vintage watches. For me it has always been easy to dress well as that was how I was brought up. I generally buy high quality used. Works good for me as I am...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    Good to see you Rue, I think you were on the missing in action list for awhile. The point about photo albums is correct, they are going fast, being replaced by iPads.
