king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 I still haven't found out what that one guy in the back is holding. below more detail. The way he wears his jacket of course kicks some major ass. The lady seems impressed. It looks as if he's waving with a shark or some other fish. But that doesn't make sense, right? Moby Dick (=rest of the world) of course. Vorwärts immer, rückwärts nimmer! Ein Heeering so fett wie der Geeering (sorry, no relation, but fun it is...) Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 what's with the girlie colours? Don't know. I didn't take the pic, I got it from Google. Poor example, I know. so now google is to blame for your choice among the images it provides but it goes nicely with them poe-nails from your water-balloon cache. Quote

JSngry Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 Commerce Street in my hometown, Gladewater, Tx, ca. 1952. Not much has changed on this street in the last 52 years, except for the cars and the businesses that occupy the buildings. Quote

ghost of miles Posted July 24, 2004 Report Posted July 24, 2004 The Canal Rachel, I love the canal! My grandfather used to take me up to Holcomb Gardens at Butler when I was little, and the canal has fascinated me ever since. The Indiana Historical Society sells a couple of books about the canal: one is a collection of poems and photos by a man who used to frequent the Indiana Avenue neighborhood in the 1940s and 50s; the other is a more general history of the canal. When I was a kid the section that your photo shows was pretty much an open ditch; they really beautified it in the early 1980s. I love walking along it whenever I go up to the IHS now. Quote
ghost of miles Posted July 24, 2004 Report Posted July 24, 2004 Kirkwood Avenue, Bloomington's "Main Street," as it were, viewed from the western edge of the IU campus: The Arboretum, between the two buildings where I work (Main Library and Radio/TV Building): Hoagy Carmichael's grave, about 150 yards from where I live. Found all of these on the web, but I actually know the guy on the left--he's a DJ at WFHB: Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted July 24, 2004 Author Report Posted July 24, 2004 Another shot in Manhattan. This is an apartment outside of Central Park. Quote
rachel Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 (edited) Ghost: I love the canal too. I don't seem to get down there much even though I only live about a 10 minute drive away. Here's one of my favorite buildings (love the limestone). If you read the NY Times, there was a great article today by Michael McColly, an IU alum, about his annual trips back to Bloomington to go cycling with his old college buddies. He mentions the old Empire Quarry as seen in "Breaking Away" as well as the Buddhist shrines which are so prevalent because of Dr. Thubten Norbu, the Dalai Lama's brother, who lives in Bloomington.

JSngry Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 A small (literally) portion of Lake Gladewater. My grandfather served as Lake Superentindent for a year or two after he retired from being a pumper for Texaco. He enjoyed the super job immensely, but he had two heart atacks in a little over a year and the second one killed him. Quote
