VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

July 1955 - Time Square NYC

 

I'd love to hear the story how this wound up in the pigpen.

The casinos on Virginia St. in Reno have nice paved alleys in back.
My friend and I were approaching the back door Of Harold's Club when the doors bust open with security in hot pursuit of some guy. They ran around the corner towards the SP tracks less than a block to the left of that photo. Hollering they were going to shoot if he didn't stop. And shoot they did just as he was going over a low chain link fence next to the tracks.
Rumor had it that in those days, the 60's, you didn't mess around in Nevada casinos.
BTW, I like that 60 Ford wagon.
60 was the year of the winter Olympics at Squaw Valley, not far from Reno.

 

Nice! and maybe a little risque for that time period.

 

Children all scrubbed clean for getting their picture took.

A very cool story indeed. Thanks J.Hansen
