Borax!

Art Deco, actually:

Hydra-Matic or Torque-Flite?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I'll go with Torque Flite, since my truck has one in it lol

City, Suburbs, or Rural?

City, Suburbs, or Rural?

I've lived in all three, and would these days choose neither city, suburbs nor rural. Small town for mine!

When one is young, and one's career is beginning a big city can be exciting, and the intense conpetition can be quite a driver.
All-around, though, a small (not too small, say population between 5000 and 20,000) town with distinct neighborhoods and a defined town center seems to provide the best of all worlds once that first flush of youth has passed.

City, Suburbs, or Rural?

Art Deco
and
like Vitanola,
a small town.

Although, if I have to choose
one of the three, it would be
rural (though not too rural).

 

[LizzieMaine]

Small non-gentrified town.

Coastal or inland?

 

[Widebrim]

Inland, even though I'm from a beach/surf culture.


"Tampico," or "Managua, Nicaragua"?

 

[vitanola]

Small non-gentrified town.

Non-gentrified!

Coastal or inland?

Inland, simply because there is a greater chance that gentrification has not obliterated the town's personality, besides which real estate is less dear inland.

I am, after all, a Midwesterner at heart. Winesburg, Ohio sounds like a bit of paradise to me, as does the town Flushing Michigan as described in "The Situation in Flushing".

Well a Brownie No. 2. For a reflex, perhaps a Argoflex 40

The Nipponese stuff I'll leave to you "modern's", though I will admit to owning a Yashica C back in my youth.
