Stripey Walls

 

It may be Christmassy Slide season, but we can't ignore Tedious Tuesday.

It's a tricky juggling act.

So, here's a very tedious subject - a view of an empty bedroom, with two single beds, and a chair.

However....what decorating panache. It takes skill to combine multicolour stripes and lime green dressing table.

Alas...

Bonus - 

Sporrans Akimbo !

 

Not the first time that I've posted a slide from this parade , so I know that this is at 919 Jefferson Ave, Toledo, OH.

Oh, indeed.  Just spotted that I've previously posted this.

You've probably figured out that this slide has deteriorated with the passage of time, and that the colours have become distorted.

OK, I could have corrected them, or tried to, but I actually prefer the glorious hyper-real effect that it has just now.

Hope you like it too,

The View from the Penthouse

 

As promised yesterday, the view that Millie sees from her crime-spotting penthouse.

First sign of trouble, and she'll fire up the Owl-Light, for the cowled crusader OwlMan to leap into action.

Bonus - 

The Viewer in the Penthouse

 

As an experiment, 

Today we have a view if Millicent Montgomery,  watching the world go by from her 11th story penthouse.  Some folks say she watched for criminals, like a tweed twinset Batman, ready to strike down evil-doers.

Tomorrow, we get the view she sees.

Burdine's Sunshine Fashions

 

After yesterday's deafening response to the Miami Shopping slide (well *I* couldn't hear anything) how could I resist posting another Miami Department Store.

Like Burdine's, and yes, it's been defunct for many a year.

Bonus -  A game of Food and Geography. Where is this dish from?

Downtown Miami, Nov 1959.

 

The only thing on the slide was the Nov 1959 Processing date, but with a little bit of Google-Fu, I am 99.9% Certain that this is Flagler Street in Miami, Fla. (Jackson/Byrons, Lili Dior, Woolworths, etc)

And the car advert for The Big Fisherman does rather confirm the 1959 date.

C L E V E L A N D

 

Yes, it's the Cleveland Ohio chapter of the Fez-Wearers of the US club, or some other group.  Water Buffalo? Shriners?

There's gotta be a better name for it, but some PhotoArcheologyMappingGoogleFu means that I've identified where this is, and where the photographer was standing.

Cleveland - Check (well, actually Toledo)
YWCA - Check (tho building extended)
White Tower restaurant - Gone
LaSalle Cleaners - Check (tho' remodelled.)
Date - Slide Processed Oct 1961.

So, hello 919 Jefferson Ave, Toledo, OH.

And now...
