    Ronald Grant Cinema Museum

    Has anyone been to the Ronald Grant Cinema Museum before? I had no idea it existed until I read this article today. I wish I would have known about it while I was living near London last year! It sounds like a fascinating place to visit, and it's a shame that the museum is being evicted from...

    First Movie

    When I visited my grandpa's cousin last week I grilled him on what he knew about my relatives and ancestors that had passed away. In the end I didn't learn too much about them, but I did get some interesting tidbits about him. I especially enjoyed hearing about his trips to visit my great...

    Raines

    Anyone watch Raines? I started watching it because the pilot was free on iTunes, and it hooked me. I'm sick of police dramas on TV, but this one is unique enough to keep me interested. Opinions?

    Cities and Decades

    In a book I was reading the other day, the author coupled cities with decades as follows: 1900s: Vienna 1920s: Paris 1940s: New York 1960s: London That got me wondering about what city could be paired with the 1930s as "the city" of that decade. I'm also curious what everyone thinks of...

    Estate Sale Advice

    I've seen posts that mention estate sales and I found a post on estate sale experiences/good finds but nothing on the basics. So what are the A to Zs of estate sales? How do you find them? When is the best time to go? What do they most commonly have at the sales? Are there items that...

    Movie Fan Magazines

    Anyone know information or sources on movie fan magazines? I'm especially interested in fan magazines of the 1930s. I'm writing and researching a paper for a class on British film magazines of the 30s with a look at the American influence/presence in the magazines. I've used it as an excuse...

    Unexpected Places.

    I love when little bits of history pop up in unexpected places. Last May after going to an Italian chalk art festival at the Santa Barbara Mission while walking back to the car I noticed this in a nearby neighborhood. Makes me wonder who scratched it into the bench - did they make the...
