    Tried this the other day, for some reason the pictures adresses changed after I posted, so I just saved them on my hosting site so I could share. Anyhow, these are from WWW.shorpy.com Lots of Hi-resolution pics from the teens on up through the sixties, with special sections for autos and service station, military, etc. Check it out.

    A friend from Maine sent me this picture.

    It could be Maine but I can't figure where by using the sponsor's names on the wall.

    The one's I can make out are Don Chevrolet, Minor's Ford and Whitefield's Realty, but they didn't Google.

    Anybody?

    Some people don't have to try to be jerks...

    Just kidding. :p I've posted some pics in that thread too, very cool.

    I was mainly just trying to point you guys to the site, the size of the pics that come up are HUGE and you can see a lot of detail - great for research. There's a lot of OT stuff too, civil war pics, city centers, etc etc.

    Shorpy shuts down hot links so they will probably disappear.
