More abandonned passenger cars left behind at deteriorating St. Louis Union Station before rehab. The old neon Sealtest Dairy sign can be seen at the dairy in the background. This is now a Schnucks / dairy packaging plant. - November 1981
I was out along Bank Street on Thursday evening looking for bicycle photo opportunities. I saw this fellow riding along with his Sealtest crate on the back of his bicycle. Sealtest is a local dairy company and it's delivery crates are great for all sorts of uses including bicycle carriers.
This guy had his hand up to his face probably to brush away bugs.

The "New Haven Dairy" (Sealtest) was located, I believe, on Hazel Street in New Haven, Connecticut, just off of Dixwell Avenue. This bottle sat atop the building for many years, long after the dairy closed, and until the building burned to the ground. I came across this bottle in the summer of 2003 in Hamden, CT. Someone has obviously rescued it. Does anyone else remember this? Unfortunately I did not get a very good photo because this is private property.
Ilene Woods (Music - Voice)
Inducted 2003
In 1948, as a favor for songwriter friends Mack David and Jerry Livingston, Ilene Woods recorded "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," and "So This is Love." She didn't know that Walt Disney would hear the demo recordings and hire her as the title voice of his upcoming animated feature "Cinderella".
"I learned a very good lesson," she later recalls. "Never pass up doing a good deed for friends!" Born May 5, 1929, Ilene had wanted to become a schoolteacher. Her mother, however, guided her toward a singing and radio career and by 11, she starred in her own show which aired in her hometown of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. By 1944, she had her own weekly radio show at the ABC Network in New York City.
During World War II, she toured with the United States Air Force Orchestra and many Hollywood stars, promoting war bonds. Because of her appearances for the USO, as well as at army and navy hospitals, she was invited to sing for President Franklin D. Roosevelt at his Hyde Park home Christmas party and for President Harry S. Truman at the White House the following year.
By the time she was 18, Ilene had worked with Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, and Paul Whiteman. She was a featured performer on Jack Carson's "Sealtest Village Store," when selected from a field of nearly 400 hopefuls to voice Cinderella.
During recording sessions, Walt would drop by to offer suggestions, including asking Ilene if she could harmonize with herself on "Oh Sing Sweet Nightingale."
She recalls, "It was such a beautiful sequence - Cinderella scrubbing the floor and each time a soap bubble would rise with another image of Cinderella, so would another voice. When we heard the finished product, Walt kidded, 'How about that? All of these years I've been paying three salaries for the Andrews Sisters, when I could have only paid one for you!"
Later, Walt admitted to Ilene she was his favorite of the Disney heroines. She recalls, "Once I went into his office and he said to me, 'You're my favorite heroine, you know.' I said, 'You mean Cinderella?' 'Yes,' he said, 'there's something about that story I associate with.'
"I think it was the rags-to-riches tale," she says. "Of course, then I didn't know how many times Walt had risked it all to realize his dreams."
After "Cinderella," Ilene moved into television appearing on "The Steve Allen Show," "The Gary Moore Show," and "Arthur Godfrey and His Friends". During "The Gary Moore Show," Ilene met her husband-to-be, Ed Shaughnessy, Johnny Carson's "The Tonight Show drummer," and raised two sons with him.
"Those were the happiest years of my life," she says.
In 1985, Ilene launched a new career as a portrait artist and says she loves painting children's portraits.
On February 12, 2001, she appeared at a Cinderella Ball celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the motion picture, held at Disneyland. On her birthday, the following May, Ilene Woods united with the voice of Sleeping Beauty, fellow Legend Mary Costa, for a Cinderella Birthday Ball held in Knoxville, Tennessee, benefiting Childhelp U.S.A.
Ilene Woods passed away on July 1, 2010. She was 81.

Sewing supply and quilt shop in a vintage downtown drug store. The soda fountain and lunch counter are still there, but the shop was closed when I went by.
One of a set of cards from my personal collection. These were a promotional item by Rohm and Hass, the manufacturer of Plexiglas, to show how versatile and attractive Plexi can be for signage. This set came out in 1964 and was sheathed in a cardboard box with ancient heiroglyphic patterns.

1950's These might have been part of a sign or box. I don't have them anymore.
I can't remember what I did with these. Maybe sold them or gave them away. Hopefully they have a good home.

My mom's sister, Melba, and her husband, John Moore (on the right), were circus performers during the late 1940's and early 1950's. They were acrobats and aerialist.
This is a 1948 group portrait of The Hildans. Lee (Irv) Rudley and Al Pio were also in the group.
They performed in Carnegie Hall and the television show "The Sealtest Big Top".

The cows that used to grace the Sealtest dairy plant in NDG (now Parmalat) were recently reinstalled on the building. However they are much further back from the street than they used to be and not very visible.
Stuckey's were all over the South. When I was a kid in the 1960's it seemed that there was a Stuckey's at ever exit. Most seemed to have Texaco gasoline. They wre always so neat and clean. I don't ever recall trying a praline or pecan roll!

"Come on, Charley, let's try one"
"So they did. Charley was no tin-horn sport. Others tried them too.
"The ladies giggled as the sweet foam tickled their noses. Perfectly heavenly! ... The gentlemen wiped their mustaches reflectively....Dashed good!
"Thus--at Philadelphia's Franklin Institute Exhibit in 1874--the world's first ice cream soda was invented, sampled and joyfully accepted into American life..."

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.
