Those Old Dealerships

I love these old dealership photos from the motive magazine - the car lounge's forum. The image at the very top really fascinated me. It practically looks like a living room. The pictures from mid-70's and the early 80's brought me a few memories. I'll never forget the day the family went to the dealership in mid-70's to buy this horrible used Mercury station wagon. I didn't like it, but I liked how you can open the back door in two different ways. It was fun. I remember there was this big "OK" sign in red letters at the dealership. Actually, every once a while I spot a Mercury station wagon.

Shhh.. The Silent Is On!

When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching silent movies very much, especially the Charlie Chaplin's movies. Those were the 70's before cable become common and the VCR didn't exist yet). Those movies were always on the PBS channel. At the same time I also enjoyed watching Zorro ;-) So when I saw this site I thought that it was quite a nice site. It has information about movies and the actors. Some other categories are sheet music featuring performers, and unidentified film stills, old articles and more.

One of the reasons that I like this site, is because I can view background and actor pictures. The pictures of the music sheets were interesting.

I can't vouch for the links' page. I checked only several and some of them were expired or had been modified since they were posted. I did recognize a few good sites though.

Learn And Travel With The United States Maps

Another post that is related to United States. This site is very good. It has all kind of maps. Such as terrain, roads, highways, state maps, atlas, Washington D.C, political (which wasn't what I expected though), state abbreviations. Some of these maps will lead you to subcategories maps-information, like the "maps and directions" and a whole lots more. It'll also show you links to websites that contain info to sites such as Mapquest and via Michelin (that one is new to me), Microsfot Macpoint.
