Hi Rue! I've been away from the lounge for a very long time, just thought I'd check in and see if anyone I knew from here was still active.

As many in here are probably aware, the Novel As Time Goes By, by Michael Walsh, picks up the story of Casablanca starting with the very last scene of the movie. In addition to telling the adventures that are hinted at in the ending of the movie, the novel provides a lot of backstory information...

Every movie mentioned in this thread is a fine choice and good arguments are made for everyone's favorite. Mine is Casablanca, but I've enjoyed everything I've ever watched with Bogie in it. It's very difficult to pick a number two, but if pressed I'd probably say The Big Sleep.

Hello Rue! It's been a while since I've checked into the Lounge. I saw that you were here a couple of months ago. Hope things are going well, maybe we'll bump into each other in here soon!

Nice looking hat! I've been wanting a straw, I'll definitely have to think about this one. I hope you'll post some pics and your first impressions when you get it.

Here's another one taken at Myrtle Beach State Park this past Easter weekend. The original photo was in color, but it just looks better in black & white to me.

Big Man, there are still a number of those Fire Towers here in the eastern part of NC also. Many years ago my grandfather worked as a fire spotter in one that still stands not too far from my house.

Taken this past Easter weekend while the wife and I were hiking the Oak Trail at Myrtle Beach State Part in South Carolina. Notice how the trees form a living arch over the trail.

Here's a photograph that I believe was taken in the late 1940's. My great grandmother is on the left. Her daughter-in-law is on the right. The daughter-in-law was married to my great uncle who was killed when the merchant marine ship on which he was serving was sunk early in WWII. The...

Watching the premier of Agent Carter right now.
