Yep.... and now Glenn introduces SYC to Denise Diplock (nee Ramirez). She has become semi famous since someone posted an older picture of an unknown batton twirler on the H.A.M.B. web site that someone who went to school with her recognized.

It's a small world here on the intranet. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks to all that post these awesome pictures for everyone to enjoy.

Re: Old Street Scenes

The "good old days" before seat belts and airbags. Hope it wasn't a little kid standing on the front seat that made that hole.

Started by Glenn and has taken off to an unreal existence. It might take you a while to get through all the thousands of pages that it has reached so far.

Vintage shots from days gone by!

Re: Old Street Scenes

I don't know how to put all these service station pics on here -- but here is a neat link ... The TAZ

Re: Old Street Scenes

Wow, those are some cool shots, reminds me of being a kid in the 50's.

re; The Goodyear service store shown in that link, can anyone recognize what city that is ? It's not Akron, Ohio.

Goodyear store

Re: Old Street Scenes

Dog427435, post# 554551 sure as heck looks like Gettysburg. And when i went to Strasburg Railraod this summer, a guy has a little bit of a later model good humor truck and was out side of the train museum selling ice cream. He was wearing the old time white outfit with the coin belt and everything. I asked the guy who redid the truck, and he said he did, and he has 2 of them!

Re: Old Street Scenes

A guy over on garagejournal.com forums has been posting a bunch of old garages in various states of repair/disrepair around VA / NC. Pretty Cool.

Re: Old Street Scenes

These need to come back...are there any still in working condition anywhere? There were still 2 left in my area up to about 10 years ago both on route 113 a few miles out of south Dover.

Shouldn't be too far from you.
Always at least 1 show or cruise in the summer, along with a classic movie.
2013 was "Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"

Re: Old Street Scenes

There's a couple in Texas still, but a little far from you.
From what I have seen they are run down and just hanging on.

I have this pic too. Very cool. Notice the blimp in the center on a display I guess.

This one (now "Ford Drive-In") is still operating in the Detroit area [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] They are even open in the winter! (won't catch me there in the cold even with the "in-car heaters" [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] ) Ford Drive-In

If this is the one I'm thinking about in Detroit you wouldn't catch me there any time of the year. It's in a very rough part of town.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Those in New Jersey and Pennsylvania would be a hike. I wouldn't be able to convince my wife to go that far just for a movie.

Yeah...I have my own copy of 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad world' in DVD. That movie cracks me up, especially the part at the very beginning where Jimmy Durante kicks the bucket when he finally dies...literally.

Re: Old Street Scenes

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Gary - am a big fan of "It's a MMMM World". Quintessential madcap comedy! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Here is an old one I hung out at south of Youngstown at the intersection of rts 14 & 7. I hit the truck stop nearby (called the "7 & 14") for some after prom delectables a "few" years ago [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] !! It was still in business when I passed thru there a few yrs ago [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] ! </span>

Re: Old Street Scenes

This is a great thread, that has tought or reminded me of several things:

1. I miss urban grit.
2. We are no where near as industrialised as we once were.
3. The '70s really were a fashion disaster.
4. There were some really sad Chistmas trees in the past.
5. Maybe restoring things to how they were originally built is over sanitising reality.
