  1. My father and I stopped by this museum in 2016. It closed just a year or two later.
  2. My father and I saw this museum in 2016. I'm glad we made a point of stopping there, as it closed a year or two later.
  3. I saw this large beauty displayed, in all places in a breakfast area of a Hampton Inn in Auburn, Indiana in 2017. I since found the manufacturer is ID'd as Carl Schneider Million Dollar Collection, hand built in resin. 8
  4. For years the Westwood PD posted videos of mishaps at a particular railroad bridge. This garnered social media attention. The bridge has been replaced so the clearance issues are gone. https://www.masslive.com/news/2016/12/westwood_polices_famous_east_s.html (Click "Watch on YouTube" to view the 2nd video).
  5. Thankfully my brother had a spare pair of glasses and lives only a few towns away so last night I ran over and grabbed them. I did also make a pinhole box, and also improvised a paper plate pinhole viewer. Both worked, and were fun to experience, but neither netted wonderful photos.
  6. Partial eclipse here in Massachusetts. This is the only shot that came out OK using the pinhole box I made. We had a light cloud cloud cover as well, but not enough to get in the way of the eclipse. My glasses worked fine. ? All in all it was worth the hype.

  9. Don't risk making your own glasses. Welding masks aren't dark enough. Official solar eclipse glasses use filter material that is certified for this use. https://rochestereclipse2024.org/safe-solar-viewing-methods/ Also note that the sun will damage unprotected cameras (including cell phones).
  10. Found online, no further info. Note the Chevy's front vent windows were retained. Pic came via Facebook. The '59 Olds pic came courtesy Desert Classics.
  11. The jolt was reportedly felt up here in MA, though I missed it. We do get small quakes up here from time to time.
  12. From a book of architectural standards.
  13. From a 1950s book on model railroading.
  14. Dedham, MA (1999). Neat little brick office.
  15. New Hampshire (circa 1990).
  16. Mansfield, OH (2019).
  17. Reading, PA (2019).
  18. Eureka, IL (2018).
  19. Pekin, IL (2017).
