More Old Town stuff

[denum]

I recently visited a couple of older towns not far from where I live...Isleton & Locke, California. I hope I didn't post too many pictures in this thread

The following shots are from Isleton.


Auto parts store. I would love to see the neon lights working but that is probably wishful thinking.

Me thinks we need more of this in our world today.

In a store front window, really?

I prefer regular ice cream but this might do in a pinch.

Let's hope so!

The following images were from Locke, California.

Interesting info on the creation of this town.

Love me some B&W for scenes with old stuff. Hope I did a decent job on this one.

This town is normally pretty quiet but come Saturday night....watch out for the rowdy crowd.

Store fronts along Main Street.

At one time we sure did glamorize cigarettes. Click this link to hear what advertisements for this Hit Parade brand of smokes sounded like.....
.

I imagine they bring this out on Saturday nights to give the bikers a little competition.

A view of Main Street.

I want these business hours too!

Amazing these advertisements made it through all the years.

Clearly someone else appreciates the past too.

Thank you Jeff. Some find this stuff interesting and then some don't. Hope I brightened your day even if just a little bit.

Very cool.

You and I agree. I really enjoy a look back into the past too. Thanks

Lovely nostalgic set.

Thanks Wobe! Nostalgia is wonderful, especially in times when we are facing unprecedented challenges in our society. It is therapeutic for me
