Vintage shots from days gone by!

Here is a shot of downtown Pittsburgh in the early 60's. The yellow brick building on the left is the old Pittsburgh Press, a Scripps-Howard newspaper which went out of business in 1992 due to a strike. The red and white lighthouse on the top is the Scripps logo trademark. The building now is home to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

 

Where was this one taken? It looks like an old picture from my home town.

 

Vintage train woods find?

 

Shouldn't we be driving these things by now???

 

That is the "Bank of Tomorrow" on Lincoln Boulevard in Oklahoma City, OK>

That's some crazy footage. I'm surprised I've never seen it in any WWII documentaries.

What's wrong with Glen Miller?

Link's photos were all planned ahead of time. He'd synchronize a "ton" of flashbulbs to get the effects he did.

 

I like them also but I think you'll find that this really isn't a camaro forum.

 

I never thought it was, But thanks, 'cause I am a newbie I guess I should just keep my mouth shut. I deleted my post for you.

 

About 1915???

 

On a sad note----Just think, all these vets are now gone!!!!

 

I think I recently read and article which indicated that there was only one US WWI veteran left, an ambulance driver. I think Great Britain's last WWI vet died a year or so ago.
