As Little as $5.00 Per Month

This is also one of my top five favorite ads I have ever seen since I began seriously collecting them in 2011. To me, that is as perfect of a 1950’s female face illustration as I’ve ever seen.

Just a Reminder

Upon finding this photograph, I realized it was a good time to once again post my reminder about all the retro/vintage/Americana material on this website.

Notes from the PD No. 10 – A New Road

The past many weeks have been such a whirlwind with both work and getting KoHoSo Radio 66 up to full speed that it is only now I have had a moment to sit down and write about getting my oldies station back online.

Triple Treat

It is not only the ravages of time, vandalism, lack of money, and overzealous planning commissions that endanger North America’s remaining neon signs.

The NEW Crestview Cadillac

I am not certain when this version of the sign and showroom were built but they were here when I first moved to southern California in 1983. Sadly, it seems it was only during the past year that the sign was removed and the building turned into a standard box.

With Mid-Wisconsin’s No. 1 Sportscaster

Tonight, the Los Angeles Kings will play their final preseason game and then head into the 2017-2018 National Hockey League campaign for the Stanley Cup. This season will be the first one in 44 years where the beloved Bob Miller will not be at the microphone calling the action.

Contents One Pound

As a radio history buff, this bent my brain a little bit because WGY are call letters that have been identified with Schenectady since 1922. Yes, certain stations were owned by food companies back in those days but I knew WGY was owned by General Electric in that era.

Goodbye, Klappersacks

The photograph above was the first post ever made by "klappersacks" on Tumblr. As something he found on the Library of Congress website, it is the source of his best-known online name.

I Have Decided to Stick with Love

Over the past several days, I have tried many times to not only make a decision regarding my existence as an online curator of retro/vintage/Americana material but to also explain that decision.
