Yep, I used to hit High Street a few times a year in the early 90's. Sometimes it would take 20 minutes to go one block. One night it took a hour to get from rt 100 onto high street. Ahh, good times.

I wish I would have experienced it back in it's heyday! Now, I live but 5 miles away and there is no cruising scene whatsoever... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Greetings everyone! Quick question. Somewhere in his thread there a picture of a mintish green colored station wagon going up the old return road at maple grove. I can't seem to find it in here, and I want to share it with a group that posts old pics of maple grove. Can anyone help me out?

I &quot;inherited&quot; the family photos when my sister and I cleared out our childhood home. My dad was a shutter-bug, shooting exclusively on slide film. There must be thousands of slides in the box! Anyway, I recently bought a slide scanner and am learning to use it tonight. I processed 9 slides and here are three appropriate for this thread. I think these were shot in Florida in 1973.







Yes, I know they are backwards. Like I said, I am learning how to use this scanner. I promise to do better next time.

Do slides have a shelf life? Some of these did not hold up well, but I'll make the best of it.

I have no idea where this was taken, but I did not look happy.






Not sure where this was taken, but out Lemans Blue '69 Impala is sitting outside


Daytona Beach



This was our '63 Bel Air, Ermine White with red guts.

Miami Beach? Was there a Raleigh Hotel?


I REALLY hated when my dad took my picture


Dutch Wonderland? Enchanted Forest?



Have no idea who they are, maybe my dad liked them.


I suppose we were at Dutch Wonderland


No idea where this was


nor this
