    1911 New York

    This film depicts the streets of 1911 New York. It is one, perhaps the best, films of that era that I have ever seen. Lots of footage of the pedestrians, horse and horseless carriages, street cars, etc all competing for the street space to move around in. I thought it would interest those folks...

    Have the cowboy movies brainwashed me?

    That would make sense...I had read it to mean "everybody everywhere" was just so hot they all settled in the shade somewhere to wait until things got more bearable.

    Have the cowboy movies brainwashed me?

    I'm currently reading "The Last of the Mountain Men" by Harold Peterson, the true story of Sylvan Hart. The author tends toward the poetic at times but it is an interesting read nevertheless. Anyhow, I've exerpted a couple paragraphs below describing one of the author's experiences while...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    C44Antelope and gtdean48...out of curiosity would y'all mind stating what state (and if a big state which part) you live in. I know it's a huge generalization but I'm thinking it has to do with the values passed on to their children by their parents and I'm further thinking that it may relate...

    Humongous photo on wall of two men wearing fedora's

    Truer words were never spoken... When I was *much* younger in the late forties there was a place in Smithfield Va on the James River where a packing plant for a well known meat company was located. In those days waste was often discharged into the river. There were piers there where the waste...

    Hats on high steel part 1

    I found these pictures interesting...plenty of caps but only a couple of high altitude fedoras. These guys not only worked with steel, they had nerves of the same stuff! The buiilding they are constructing is the Empire State Building. [ Pictures taked by Lewis Wicks Hines

    AT last! and just in time for summer!

    You must have visited west Texas...Houston is everybit as bad and frwquently worse that Fla for high humidity. I lived in Merritt Island and Cocoa beach when I worked at the Cape and it is no worse than Houston. West Texas dry heat doesn't bother me near as much. High humidity sucks, or would...

    thanks for posting this...I've read several apparently apocryphal blurbs on how Kilroy came to pass but this makes more sense than any of those.
