But seriously, HUGE congratulations on retiring. I retired at the end of 2017 with 26 years of service from Metro in L.A. working on Light Rail and Highway projects as the Design & Construction Quality Manager (other service added up to 31 years on the clock) and worked every day since I was 16 years old. 47 years in total and that was more than plenty for me. I hope you still have your health, my best to you and all the people that have managed to be able to retire! |

So many questions: How did they get it up there? Are they ever going to tie it down? And lastly...WHY?
I think they're going to have the same results as this boat hauler: https://youtu.be/kxFx8_z6o4o?t=7 |

Strangely enough, there's a rollover on the highway nearby involving a flatbed that was hauling a post office truck. "If it ships, it's not gonna get there today." https://www.facebook.com/manchesteri...type=3&theater |

LOLOLOLOL, OMG how stupid of me I didn't see Coit Tower! LOLOL Geeeez, I have been in that thing a number of times for goodness sakes.
This is the corner of Market and Kearny streets. I sat literally a block from there watching the Giants World Series parade in 2010. :D Thanks for waking me up! Brian |

This is a neat one in that it's my home town! If there was a Buick in that photo I may be in it! LOL This is at the "Five corners" in the Irvington district of Fremont. My mom grew up in Irvington, when it was a town before Fremont joined a few of these towns in 1956. That building straight ahead with the opening on the corner is an auto repair shop that my uncle Joe worked at. There is not a Burger King there, but that's a good part of my family's history now too, it is where my wife's first job was. :D The second picture is of my Uncle Art and his to be wife in a parade right there on the street where that AD is a number of years before. The last one is my mom working at her first job just to the right of where this photo was taken only a few hundred feet away. And the last one with my mom holding my sister with the 36 Ford was taken only a few hundred yards from this photo at five corners. Yeah, I have a LOT of photos from Irvington. Brian |

How about that trailer! Everything was art back then, even the working trailer hauling cars. Brian |

Brian, you've been posting some cool photos. I have no idea how the old ones are colorized so well but it's neat to see. And I really love the Art Deco trailer hauling those old cars.
Here are a couple of photos here that I don't think I've shared before. |
Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Very cool!

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Hope everyone was ok, I know the AD didn't fair so well. :(

That pic was a standard feature at many DQs including the ancient one from the 50's in Brookings OR. They knocked it down last week and built a brand new one. I hope the pic was saved and transferred over.
