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.

Back to the Sun ‘n Sand

When I posted "Sun ‘n Sand Revisited" earlier this year, I had seen some news reports that the property was going to be purchased and renovated back to its past glory. From the looks of this photo the esteemed Mr. Nix took just last month, that renovation cannot come too soon.

Lopez Liquor of La Verne

A lot has changed over the years at the corner where this sign sits, both before and after I first arrived in this part of southern California in 1983 to attend college.

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.
