Exploring Spots on Route 66 Part 2

We are still poking around the Route 66 museum, folks! I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw these cell phones! LOL!!


I believe this is an aerial view of Barstow.


I have always loved pinball...and naturally fell in love with this machine.


Who knows what these are????


Here's a hint:



Here's another look at that old car.



I apologize for the lousy photo (I took several and this was the best one) but I had to share this because I busted up laughing when I read the card. It's a modesty bathing suit!


This sign is for Darrin...


I almost fell over when I saw this air conditioning unit...for cars!


Hey, this was pretty darn racy for back then!


These seats were originally from the Barstow movie theater. And they don't look very comfortable, either!


And now...just some stuff that caught my eye...




Uff da! I'm glad I don't have to blog on one of those things!


I remember seeing one of these at our local Thrifty Drugstore back in the 1960's.


Hahahahaha!


I thought these were pretty cool.



Well, that about does it for this leg of the journey. Come back tomorrow!

That is an eclectic collection of stuff, for sure. Why have "nude" makeup on display? And was it for nudists, or just women in bathing suits? 60 minutes needs to do a story on this!

I seem to remember my Mom talking about leg make-up. We need to remember it was war time, and no nylons were to be had. So the nude make up was the next best thing. Different times for sure.

Yes, my mom also said nylons were nearly extinct!

Disneyland Trash Cans

Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
