Vintage shots from days gone by!

Ok, another memory, I was on lunch from my sign shop job, musta been 17 or 18, driving a 68 charger that belonged to my boss at Graphic Signs in Westminster, went to get him smokes at the Town Square Liquor store, pulled up, kept the car running, and went in, got the smokes, all of sudden someone says "hey isnt that your car"? I looked and that charger was backin up all by itself, heading out the driveway onto McFadden, out the drive it went, turned and went up the curb, and up a ground wire,, I was able to get in the car and drive it down,, luckily it just slid down, only went up the wire a couple feet,
oh the memories..

Damn Mazooma,,

Iguess it's all relative of where you live.
I'm north of Buffalo myself.
And we call everything from Hamburg on south the southern tier.
Meaning South of Buffalo.
That includes Angola, Dunkirk, Fredonia etc.............

That's what's south of Buffalo for us.
Also called "the Southtowns".

 

No photoshop either................Just natural beauty.

Great thread....please, lets keep your personal political views out of it....

 

This picture posted by T-Head made me curious, so why would you need a diver at Winchester ........i went looking............here's what i found thanks to wikipedia..............





William Walker MVO (1869–1918) was an English diver famous for shoring up the southern and eastern sides of Winchester Cathedral.
he shored up Winchester Cathedral, using more than 25,000 bags of concrete, 115,000 concrete blocks, and 900,000 bricks.


Before his work, the cathedral had been in imminent danger of collapse as it sank slowly into the ground, which consisted of peat. To enable bricklayers to build supporting walls, the groundwater level had to be lowered. Normally, the removal of the groundwater would have caused the collapse of the building. So, to give temporary support to the foundation walls, some 235 pits were dug along the southern and eastern sides of the building, each about six metres deep. Walker went down and shored up the walls by putting concrete underneath them. He worked six hours a day—in complete darkness, because the sediment suspended in the water was impenetrable to light.

After Walker finished his work, the groundwater was pumped out and the concrete he had placed bore the foundation walls. Conventional bricklayers then were able to do their work in the usual way and restore the damaged walls.

During his time working at Winchester, Walker cycled home, 150 miles to Croydon and back, each weekend to see his family.<SUP id=cite_ref-1 class=reference>[2]</SUP> He married twice. His first wife died before he began work at Winchester. He married his second wife, sister of his first, in 1907, and had several children during his years working at Winchester.

To celebrate the completion of the work, a thanksgiving service, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, was held on July 15, 1912. At this, Walker was presented with a silver rose bowl by King George V. Newspaper reports at the time remarked that this was the second time Walker had met George V, the first being when the king was a naval cadet and Walker was his diving instructor.<SUP id=cite_ref-2 class=reference>[3]</SUP>
Later, Walker was honoured by being appointed a Member of the Royal Victorian Orde
