    30s Gothic revival architecture (& good news)

    Indeed... and this is only a few of the buildings; the majority of that area of the entire campus is the same Gothic style, including the old parts of the hospital. Thanks- but Come on, that's a sure jinx! I'll be happy to wear Anything if I get in. Tomasso: Great Pics, love the ivy, thanks...

    Gothic- pics from the inside Haversack: Fascinating.

    Paris

    Most things I really like, that's not from America, always seems to turn out being from Paris, or France: architecture, art, music... And, likewise, any time I find a re-issue of a rare American jazz CD no longer available in the states, seems it's a French import. Can't wait to get there...

    And now for something completely different

    Oh, I have NO intention of joining in! The idea of random purposeless shoving / fighting does nothing for me at all. Just going there mainly cause my friends I'm catching up with *so* want me to go with them at least once. We all plan on hanging out to the sidelines. 'Course, judging from...

    And now for something completely different

    When's the last time you've done something completely different or outside your normal realm of taste, just to find out if you love it or hate it? Or, just because you feel in need of a mind-cleansing experience? I've recently run into friends I knew from elementary school days in the NC...

    How many 78s do you have? (w/ image gallery)

    Nice work for $8! Don't think you can have a 78 collection representative of pop tastes in America in that era w/o Sentimental Journey & White Christmas. Frenesi is a fave, since it's one of the first I heard in elementary school when just discovering swing. And Jo Stafford: As I said in...

    What Are You Reading

    Been trying lots of new things recently; coworkers suggested I'd enjoy reading more classic mystery. Found this page off Wikipedia's "Mystery Fiction" page to be a most promising guide: mainly because it identifies schools of different styles of mystery, for a broad sampling of every kind...

    Which would you steal? CAR SHOW pics, 1930s-50s

    Didn't even make it to shooting many 1950s cars this time. More 70s cars; some actually look real good in showroom condition. Kept making me think of blacksploitation movies & Curtis Mayfield. Wakka-chikka...
