oh the days when you could set up your chair next to the track and the only thing separating you from the action was a flag covered rope.

This picture is from New Orleans after Hurricane Betsy hit in 1965, users of the St. Charles streetcar line got public transportation again as New Orleans Public Service Inc. put buses on this run. The "Car Stop" is for the streetcar, but with all the debris on the neutral ground, they had to stop the cars from running and replace them with buses temporarily.

Reminds me of Cal Worthington. :)

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Cool pic!

I saw it on Facebook as well but didn't save since I was scrolling down the news feed on my phone. It was in a '60-66 truck group I believe, but I knew I'd likely never find it again. So, glad you posted it! :chevy:

Geez, those aren't exactly a bunch of twigs there.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Yep that was some old growth timber there. Back then that was about all they cut for lumber.........it made for much better lumber than what we have available today. That truck in the middle has 5 logs on it, and it is a load.

1980's Mt St Helen's Eruption .
Covered in ash.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

DAMN, breaks the heart

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I remember that day well.......May 18th 1980. We didn't get that much ash up here, but enough to make a mess.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Definitely sucks, but cool addition to this thread!

Love that Harry Mann tow truck, looks like they have 3 bumpers stacked up.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

That pic of Maurice J. Sopp Chevrolet has got to be from the 30's but it is so crisp and clear.

This is such a cool photo!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

This photo has many individual reminders of the way it used to be. It is cool and remarkedly clear. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Great color shots 60-66, thanks for sharing! The rim color on the '61 burb has got me puzzled

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

These photos , some of them , were colorized . Same photo is a couple pages back in black and white as original. Some seem much sharper also. What do you see on the rim Factorystock ?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I'm surprised the parking paint is yellow rather than red.
I would think that Rambler would be worthy of a parking ticket being so close to the fire hydrant. Also, there's a parking meter next to the car in front of the Rambler, but no meter next to the Rambler.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I think the rim is black the truck in front of the suburban has the same coloring in parts of that rim ?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I love to try and find the updated google map shot of these scenes. took a bit of digging but found out that the Great River Road Iowa sign - that campaign still exists with it's own web site. Shop truck says main st and the street sign is court st. Only one US highway ending in 4 (US 34) crosses in to Illinois (sign in back ground with another for a toll bridge.

I am betting this is the Corner of Main and Court Streets in Burlington, Ia

Sadly nothing is there now.

I love the look of vintage "STOCK" cars.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Its funny that we look back on this time as nostalgia, when most of the folks were looking toward the future with anticipation. Route 66 was in its heyday - and most could not wait for the MODERN 4-6 lane interstate to push on through.......Go Figure.

BUT folks back then mostly had the same problems we got, only not so much in debt I think and of course our Country was king of the world back them too.....

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Yeah, Kinda fun flying around on google maps locating landmarks past and present. I think you are spot on with your guess at the exact intersection. The brick building is there as is the old post in front which was bearing the Illinois sign (see pic). If you back up the street a bit, you can spot the fireplug situated next to an old post base which would be the one that had the Court street sign.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Nice - I see them. Thanks for helping out!

Coolest thing is that I lived in Burlington from 1972-1974 for my Fathers job. You could fly to Burlington on Ozark Airlines prop planes. The airport wasn't big enough for jets then. Simple times.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Love your detective work . That Place looks kinda ugly plain , now.
