Les Chansons Francaises
I'm digging on Leo Marjane at the moment. She's still among us, at 100 years; she sang for a pro-German radio station, which didn't endear her to her public. (hands up, everybody who hasn't made a bad decision) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=via0kHcEV1A -
A 1920's/30's General Store
Messy Nessy Chic has the best artices for the 'vintage-minded'. I hate that word....vintage.... however I think that "Retro" is even worse. But enough about me. A restored 1920's/30's General Store- Chas

The Most Impressive Vintage Item You Wanted but Could Not Afford?
It's a tie for me. (1)A 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible. Burgundy red with a cream-colored top. Ironically, now that I'm settled financially I could probably swing it but the car and the moment have passed beyond my sight. Alas. (2) A massive collection of 1930's-50's boxing...- Chas

Chas Needs Furniture!!
Hello, all. Or should I say G'day? I'm now established in Edithvale, and while the house is a bit drafty (which will be fixed), I really need to make it into a home. In (almost) desperate need of decent furnishings - priority being kitchen and lounge. Something fedora-lounge-ish in...- Chas

1940's Barkcloth Drapes
While on vacation on Kauai I found this set of drapes. Two smallish-sized panels but they will be a good start to setting up a new home in Melbourne soon. They were part of a larger hoard that I could not hope to afford, though I would have bought the lot if I could...- Chas

"The Girls In The Band"
I Saw this wonderful documentary and met the film maker Judy Chaikin. Anybody who has a love for jazz and jazz history should make it a priority to see this film. It tells the story of female jazz artists, their troubles and triumphs, their achievements and obstacles. Chaikin has woven a...- Chas

Question on US Service Magazines of WW2
I know the US Army read "Yank" and "Stars And Stripes", but what did the USN read? I'm working on a modification for Silent Hunter IV- looking to cull together authentic USN magazine pinups and images. EDIT: OK, I found "All Hands", but it looks like it was first published in 1944. Any other... -
Not So Jolly Old England
I acknowledge the risk of starting something of a poop storm here (as politics are taboo in the FL), but I have to ask the question. "What in the blue hell is going on over there?"- Chas

Save The Pink Bathroom
Not necessarily my cause, but I'm sure there are others in the FL who would agree to save the pink bathroom. One article on the website describes this incredible score that someone saved from the landfill. I could hardly believe what I was looking at.- Chas

How's Your Summer Going?
Not the view from my front porch, more's the pity... Anyway - back to the question. Vancouver weather has been poopy and grey all July; maybe one week of summer weather tallied up in all of July but it seems to be getting better. The strawberries sucked this year but the blueberries are...- Chas

War Art
It would seem like a good idea for folks to post their recommendations for sites that have excellent examples of war art. I have one that I particularly like, and I think it hasn't been well visited- a selection of paintings from the Japanese artist & IJN veteran Takeshi Yuki. Some of them are... -
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Not sure if there was ever a thread dedicated to this- but the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, at it's completion was the third largest bridge of it's kind in the world, had a design flaw. It liked to catch the wind. Known as "Galloping Gertie", the bridge took off on November 7th, 1940 and collapsed...- Chas
