Dang. The toll that global warming has taken on the statue of liberty is breathtaking. It is practically underwater now...shame.
It only comes up for air every now and then for a photograph.
On a tour of Fort Sumter a while back, the park ranger conducting the tour introduction asked if anyone in the group was from another country and asked the group to shout it out. I shouted "New York."

In constant dollars, that $0.29 gallon of gas would cost about $2.98 today.

Are those Pancake hotdogs and hamburgers in that aunt Jemima ad?
noticed that, too. And you know people eating them still weighed about half of what average Americans weigh today.

This is like my car in 1967-68. Had a spot light. The starter was on the floor and had a separate heater in the front and back.

Was he stationed at Wendover?

If anyone is wondering why such an odd name for a B-29, Enola Gay Tibbets was the mother of Col. Paul Tibbets, the commander of the “Enola Gay”.

It was like a magnet for cops to stop me so they could get a close look at the car.

I didn't know that, thanks.

bad thing for college, although I'm guessing it was different back then, did you go into the military? to Vietnam?

As I understand it, Col Paul Tibbets didn't name the plane until the day before the attack on Hiroshima. As a result, this photo was likely taken at the North Tinian airfield after the bombing.
It would also explain the shorts and cutoff shirts.

That’s the Hotel Ukraina. I stayed there twice in 1998…most bizzare hotel I’ve ever been to. It was like the Shining…it’s now a 5 star Radisson Collection Hotel. Place is beautiful and very strange! Bars on every 5th floor as soon as the elevator opens, each with its on personality and plenty of Russian hookers at the tables. You had to see the concierge in the lobby to arrange a date.

Phenix City was sin city in those days. Patton threatened to take his tanks across the bridge and level the town. It was known for organized crime, gambling, and prostitution. An Alabama Attorney General was elected promising to clean up the town, but was shot down in cold blood on main street in 1954.

Folks criticized this game for being "too violent" when it came out in 1976. I can only imagine how Mortal Kombat or Grand Theft Auto would have played out back then.
My grandmother had HBO back when I was a child and I remember spending the night at her house and sneaking up late at night and watching Death Race 2000 which I assume that game was based on. I remember liking the movie way back then. I was probably about 8 or 9 years old.

He was not actually the Attorney General. He was running to be the Attorney General.

Board racing on motorcycles. Craziest folks on two wheels. The numbers of how many were injured or killed doing this was insane
