I like that motorcycle. Doesn't look to safe but cool concept.

The elevator parking is awesome

And I guess ADHD has always been an issue

It won't be long before we have no one who remembers this, and will not have anybody to put the media-created "bad economies" into perspective.

Suntan machine and vertical parking are still quite applicable today.

Interesting story there. Also, they were protesters staging a "swim in" not just a family taking a dip. Sad story. The owner was besieged both by segregationists/KKK and the civil rights protesters over whether his business would serve blacks or not.
