The entrance to Santa Anita Park in the city of Arcadia was dressed up a bit with the help of some movie magic, I assume matte paintings (?), which changed this parking lot into the entrance to Wally World for the 1983 comedy "Vacation" (top).

Here are some of my images from this April's Steel City Con in Monroeville, PA.
I got to meet the cast of Vacation, Christopher Lloyd, the original Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees (from Freddy vs Jason), Nancy from the original Nightmare on Elm Street, plus a lot of cool people throughout the day. As you can see, Mikey & Lexi had a good time there as well!
FYI, as you will see, I had the cast of Vacation (Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Anthony Michael Hall, Dana Barron, and Miriam Flynn) sign my full size Vacation movie poster, and the other people signed custom graphics that I made for them to autograph. I love making these, the actors seem to like them and it gives me something unique to collect.

The storefront at 5510 Connecticut Avenue NW in Chevy Chase has hosted a series of successful neighborhood restaurants. These matchcovers are from three of them. The Chevy Chase Inn, an early tenant, was followed by Barnhart's in the 1950s. The Piccadilly, opened in 1964, was one of DC's few English restaurants and the only place in town in the 1970s where one could order mutton chops or steak and kidney pie and have some English trifle for dessert. In 1987, the restaurant was reborn, under the same management, as the Swiss Cafe--the only Swiss restaurant in DC after the closure of the Swiss Chalet in Foggy Bottom. However, longtime owner Betty Jettmar (1932-1995) sold the place just two years later, in 1989. The Parthenon, a Greek restaurant, has been flourishing at this location ever since.

This stately and chic gathering-room in Spring Valley, Washington, DC is an example of every aspect of my design abilities...transitional and edgy, yet upscale...My very dear client and I worked closely to achieve the subject of this photograph...and I enjoyed every minute of the transformation.

The Chevy Chase Inn, at 7100 Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase, Maryland, was built by the Chevy Chase Land Company in 1894 as a summer resort. The company sold the inn to the Chevy Chase College for Young Ladies in 1903. The two older postcards show the original building when it served as a school. The college remained and expanded on the site until 1950, when it closed. The National 4-H Foundation then purchased the site for a youth conference center, moving in in 1958. The 4-H rebuilt and greatly expanded the facility into a sizable campus but recently announced that it will be selling the property for reuse or potential redevelopment.

Super 8 sound movie film from December 10, 1980 - Premiere of SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES with Chevy Chase. Lots of other stars attend, such as Sean Connery.
Entrepreneur and restaurateur Jeffrey Gildenhorn (1943-2017) began his career running Circle Liquors, a store his grandfather had opened in 1939 on Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase DC. Gildenhorn branched out, opening The Fishery seafood restaurant in 1980 and Rossini's, a homestyle Italian restaurant, in 1985, all in the same 5500 block of Connecticut Avenue. Continuing the comfort food theme, he commissioned the construction of the American City Diner, a block to the north, in 1987. GIldenhorn went on to run for mayor in 1998 and serve as the city's boxing commissioner. The American City Diner, closed after his sudden death, is now set to be razed.
A closer look at the three baby squirrels (only two shown here) that were orphaned by traffic on Fontaine Road in front of my old apartment and office in Lexington, Kentucky. I helped them by feeding them peanut butter and sunflower seeds for a couple of months while they grew big enough to fend for themselves. I really enjoyed looking out to see them exploring their world and playing in their tree. Cute little animals they were and are!!
When looking at the the Green in the Village of Townshend, Vermont one notices there is one big tree as the size one would expect on a green this old but the rest are much smaller. Turns out that a movie, "Funny Farm", with Chevy Chase was filmed in Townshend. During filming the crew accidentally killed all but one of the trees on the Townshend Common when they colored the leaves to make it look as if it was mid-autumn. This resulted in the re-planting of the most of the trees. (oops!) Today, the one tree that survived the damage sits in the middle of the Common, surrounded by much shorter, newer trees. Who would expect a little Hollywood history in the village of Townshend? This view looking north shows the First Congregational Church which has a prominent location on the green. Also notice the fountain and the parsonage behind the church. A school sits out of the frame to the left.
The Village Green dates back to the founding of the town in 1753 and is surrounded by quaint buildings including the historic First Congregational Church. Locally the church is touted as the most photographed Church in the US. (Other cities dispute this of course). Built in 1790, First Congregational Church and Meetinghouse (also know as The Church of Christ and Townshend Church) is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Townshend. Major fires in 1886, 1894, 1896, and 1918 destroyed much of the center of Town and the buildings there are relatively recent in construction in relation to that of the church and the founding of the town. Many of the buildings in the quaint town date from the 1920's because of the fire history. The Church fortunately was set away from the other buildings and survived. The Town of Townshend was chartered in 1753 as one of the New Hampshire Land Grants. It was named for the notorious Englishman, Charles Townshend, who was most notable for his fondness for taxing the colonies. As the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the British government, he proposed and endorsed several pieces of legislation passed by the Parliament to raise tax revenue from the colonies. His most infamous tax, arguably, was the tax on tea that helped to push the colonies into declaring independence and was the basis of the Boston Tea Party in 1773.Like all New England communities the early settlers spent their time and lives farming less than ideal soils and terrain. In the late the 1700's manufacturing, retail, and hospitality related concerns began to appear and flourish. The village of West Townshend was by far the center of economic and agricultural activity in the earlier years. Periodic flooding on the West River also affected the town. A major change to the occurred in 1959-1961with the construction of the Townshend Dam for flood control purposes. The resulting lake flooded much of West Townshend and eliminated many of the prime properties that were important to the earlier economic development of the area. The church lies on the north side of the town green near the junction of VT 30 and VT 35 in downtown Townshend. The quaint wooden church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

You know this car. Everyone does. This is a replica of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation, the 1983 classic comedy written by John Hughes starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo as Clark and Ellen Griswold. The only surviving Truckster from the film is kept at the Historic Auto Attractions museum in Roscoe, Illinois. But that hasn't stopped a handful of enterprising souls from recreating one of the ugliest, yet most beloved, of all fictional vehicles ever to grace a movie screen.
This replica, built by Eric Wise of Independence, Missouri, is based on a 1985 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon. Photographed at the 2010 Hot Rod Power Tour stopover in Springfield, Illinois on June 6, 2010.

The modest original Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, seen in this postcard, was constructed just off Chevy Chase Circle in 1911. The current church building dates to 1927.
This handsome school building was located at Connecticut Ave and McKinley Street NW, where the library and community center now stand. It was later renamed the E.V. Brown School and converted to a library/community center in the 1950s.

An homage to Chevy Chase in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" movie series
This early 1900s postcard shows the Clean Drinking Manor in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The house was built by Charles Jones around 1750. Nicholas "Nick the Hermit" Jones, its last owner, is seen here standing on the front porch. The house fell into ruins after his death in 1911. The chimneys were still standing as late as 1970, when they were finally taken down and the bricks donated to Mount Vernon. Thanks to Ryan Shepard for the identification and to Steve Dryden for the historical research. The postcard was published by Chevy Chase resident Minnie E. Brooke, who ran a tea room in what is now "La Ferme" restaurant on Brookville Road.
