Chas said:I think that this could actually work; as a sort of commune- following the example set by the hippies and flower children of the 60's (yes, I know, who wants to think of that!). You need to find a small town somewhere with the original infrastructure intact.
No, it couldn't--no PC's means no Fedora Lounge access...:eusa_doh:Chas said:You would need to institute a set of town bylaws that prohibit any technological devices past, say, 1950. That means: no PC's, yadda yadda.
All in all, it could work.

It could work in the Sunbelt, have a huge warehouse with a town inside chilled to year-round winter for your "Holiday Village" section. Have to sink geothermal turbines or build a solar-plant in space with microwave power transmission, but the tech is there... And like I said, there are some Plains towns that are all-but-abandoned and thus ripe for a "vintage invasion".dhermann1 said:I've often thought of building (with someone else's $500 million) an Americana based theme park. It would have neighborhoods dedicated to different regions and eras. Of course the only sensible area to do it would be a warm sunbelt location, but I'm a die hard winter guy, so I'd try to get around that issue. But it would still be an amusement park. So there you are. The only alternative I can think of is a vintage "enclave" in an existing city. That assumes that "vintage" becomes infinitely more popular than it is right now. And if that happened, it would only be a fad. So, again, there you are. [huh]
That's the trick, convince them (or me) that you're no threat and you're cool. Grounds for second thought, though, and... A little understanding really does go a long way, huh?dhermann1 said:And speaking of herpitology offtopic: ) my girlfriend's brother in law just retired from a career as a snake milker, in Salt Lake City. I kid you not. He's milked over 30,000 poisonous snakes in his life time and never been bit once. He says you just have to make the snake trust you. Now there's a lesson in life. Those little snakeys are just timid gentle critters, once you get to understand them.

I vote for Willoughby with 1 month of snow.
I also nominate myself as the town photographer--babies on bearskin rugs, school pictures, wedding portraits, yard long photos of the town picnic. I'll be in the dark room, concentrating so hard that I'll be oblivious to the fact that my round glasses sliding down my nose.
If that post is taken I'll run the town hat shop or be a florist.
