Could be Anycity, Midwest USA

 

No info on the slide, so it could be almost anywhere, USA.

But, using my massive asteroid-sized brain, I think that this might be Huntington, west Virginia.

In fact, those buildings on the bottom left look rather like those in this Streetview view.

Meaning, that building bottom left would be the Carnegie Public Library  as seen from the upper floors of the Army Corp of Engineers building.

The Thresher


Not to be confused with the USS Thresher, which is a whole other story.

No, this is an atmospheric slide of an Olde Tyme Agricultural Equipment demonstration, and frankly the light leakage marking add a whole other level of charm to the slide.

Bonus - From old time, to emergent technology. Environmentally friendly 'cremation'.
Mmmmm   Water.

The Velvet Princesses


Parade day in West Virginia, and I guess they're prepared for the cold. Perhaps, if they got off their asses and actually moved around - pole dancing or something - they might be warmer.

Bonus - Just noticed the passing of Gary Owens :-(
So, have some Laugh-In

Top Of The Mountain State

Well that's obvious.  

Mountain State means that this is West Virginia, which means that the highest point is "Spruce Knob" (No sniggering at the back).  And the good news is that the observation tower is still 900ft from the car park.


Bonus -  A Good One today.
The fascinating story of the buried Ferrari Dino.

And, a video of it.
