    What's for Dinner?

    Here's an interesting idea! I found this blog where the author buys old recipe boxes from the 40s through the 60s and cook the food according to the old recipe. I remember a lot of these dishes from my childhood. Part of the fun is seeing what is the next dish or what other thing is in the box...

    Doc Savage

    Any fand here? I like the mindless adventure, exotic locales, and airships, autogyros, machine pistols, etc. I started reading them in the 70s and I still pick one up once in a while.

    Best city for vintage living

    I would vote for Kansas City, I was in the same boat 4 years ago, had to relocate, one of the reasons I choose this area was it's rich 20s and 30s history and the ammount of surviving architecture from that period.

    We know that the TV show is pretty heavily fictionalized. How do you rate the cloths, guns, cars, sets and language? I've seen some obivious plastic Thompsons (episode "Ma Barker and her Boys") and a few other mistakes. What do you think?
