More fun slides from the 1961 trip to the Big Apple - and - yes - everyone takes these pictures - that is why it is so fun to look at them and see what has changed!
In the low light of the lounge, secrets linger like the scent of whisky. A fleeting glance, a moment of quiet intrigue.

Whoever had the boneheaded idea to turn this bustling street into a pedestrian mall should be banned from the urban planning profession for life.
When I took this picture, the famous "BOND" sign, with the clock inside the "O", was still there; the Camel billboard with the man blowing smoke rings had vanished, and there was one remaining Automat; it would soon close. Don't know what an Automat is? Google it.

If one could see into the rooms of transients and recluses, they would often see old photos framed next to large bottles of liquor. It was called "the end of the road" by my aunt when she spoke of relatives who went off the deep end and finally lost contact with family. It was the "end of the line, the end of the road," she said.

Upon viewing uncle art's auto salvage yard back in 1958, i was elated. Why had we waited so long to visit my mother's odd brother, the strange-hued sheep of the family. Uncle art had a thirst for canadian club and money. In the winters, when things were slow and cold, uncle art headed for the keys where he wrote mysteries and drank more canadian club. June and july were the top months for visiting uncle art. He didn't say much. He did talk about the various items he had found in the cars pulled into his yard. Yes, there were some victims of foul play, but he found mostly money, silver halves and quarters slipped down behind the seats. When i found out it was okay to pilfer through the old autos, i could be gone almost all day. I found a box of playboys once and learned a lot about the intellectual aspects the magazine; the interviews were most enlightening. On one occasion, i found a navy colt .45. I found about $200 in the summer of 1958. My one big regret was not being able to go with uncle art to the florida keys for a few weeks. Whenever i see old junk cars or junkyards, i am always reminded of uncle art and miss june 1958.

Don't you love it when foreign companies buy out domestic companies and then destroy icons of heritage without a second thought. A product that built this Community (except what is sold in Canada) is now made by Jim Beam in the US, their is just something wrong Canadian Club being brewed in the US, that would be like making Jack Daniel's in Canada.
Little did I know shortly after taking this photo they would tear the sign down, it was there since Prohibition.
article by Lew Bryson
Well, for years, Canadian whisky has been walking that fine line. Canadian made it big during Prohibition, when Hiram Walker built the huge Canadian Club sign at the distillery at Walkerville, right across the Detroit River from Detroit. "Prohibit this!" the big CANADIAN CLUB sign seemed to say, or maybe a more Carrollian sentiment, like "Drink me." Tanker-loads of the stuff came across the river and the Lakes; how could Customs and the Treasury agents stop it? There was about one agent for every 13 miles of U.S./Canadian border.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external hard drive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!

HOTEL CALIFORNIA: CHECKED IN FOR THOUGHT PROCESSING
This is the perfect place for channeling memories, reflecting on times past and how things happened. One can sometimes see clearly through the windows of the Hotel California. There is a sense of the past in every inch of the Hotel California. One can sit in the darkness and see clearly events of 50 to 60 years ago; there are times when one can travel back to times when the mist is clearing on the coast and envision the early inhabitants who enjoyed their lifestyles, living in a virtual paradise, unaware of concrete and freeways that disfigure the natural beauty of the California coast.

I picked up a nice little Fujinon 200mm f/4.5 from Ebay for a sweet $20. I had to have it serviced for another $20.
Photos above were at minimum focal distance (8.5 feet) at 15 seconds f/4.5 with the camera sitting on a bar top.
You tell me, was it worth the $40

Canadian Club whisky production starts with Canadian Pacific Railway's delivery of grain (barley, corn, rye, wheat or whatever) to the distillery. This is the delivery point at the former (now demolished) Hiram Walker distillery in Winfield, British Columbia, Canada.
