I have always loved the parking lot shots - they don't need to be anything in particular - just cars in an
old time setting. A lot of the shots are like watching a favorite movie, every time you look you find
something you missed before. They are frozen moments in time.
I have hundreds of these, some I've taken, some are from family and some are picked up off the net.
I use them as a rotating screen saver - if you like them, I can post more week to week.

Love this one of the Goodyear Airdock in Akron, about 10 miles from home.
Have been in this Hangar a few times since I was a kid.
In the early to mid 50's I lived a few blocks from the Akron Muni Airport. At that time Goodyear Aircraft Corp. was still building Anti Sub Warfare Blimps for the Navy. They were awesome to watch,near 350' long compared to a 98' Goodyear Add blimp fo today.
Love the Maroon 40 Chevy.

Here's a special scene for me. This is McDonald Avenue in Richmond California in 1956. The big building across the street on the right is the old Wells Fargo bank where my mother did the family banking. Kress, on the left at the corner, was where I got my first car model in 1967, an AMT Junior Trophy '59 Edsel snap-together kit and it was about 69 cents. Kress had a killer candy counter in the front of the store that was staffed by old ladies who wore their sweaters over their shoulders with their arms free. My older sister treated me to my first candy corn there in about 1966 and it was probably five cents worth. (Man, the things we remember.) This area died in the early 1970s and today is a fairly dangerous place to be even in broad daylight. I would not have been caught dead here after about 1970. The bank building is still there but much of the rest of these buildings were torn down in the late 70s. The Kress building was removed in about 1974. This entire business district died completely in about four years between 1970-74.

Maxwell St. Chicago circa 1969. If you are REALLY a true Chicagoan (and of course are old enough) then you went to Maxwell St. on Sundays for a deal and a Polish Sausage.
This is part of Chicago's past. Grand Ave. circa August 1966.

Frank your older shots really show the change in our world in the fifty or so years between the settings.

AC Transit still operates throughout the East Bay area (across the bay from San Francisco) and I used to ride the bus on occasion back in the early 1970s when the fare was fifteen cents. I found this 1961 AC Transit promotional pamphlet on eBay a few years ago and laughed at how innocent things appeared to be in 1961. In reality, these people would not dare get on an AC Transit bus after about 1964, especially dressed in their Sunday best. They would have been red meat for all the thugs who lived in the rear of practically every AC Transit bus after about 1965.
