Seattle long before my first visit.

This is the only photo I've seen of this beautiful 1957 Featurama truck.

Published Tuesday, July 17, 1962, pg. 1 This is the first bucket of cement poured on the Cape Girardeau section of Interstate Highway 55. The site is two miles north of Wedekind Park at a point just north of Old McKendree Chapel. The construction train shown here is a concrete pavement assembly line. Rolling on tracks, the assembly pours the concrete, levels it, removes any air pockets, finishes it and leaves behind a complete porject. The contractor is shooting for a mile of paving a day in ghe continuous process. (Missourian archives, G.D. Fronabarger photo)

Not one of our trucks but too cool to ignore. That's a New York Central overpass in Detroit with what appears to be a Pacific 4-6-2 steaming across.

Completely different freeways. The first one with the 7 south and 101 is what would be the 405 and the 101 interchange facing south, need to double check with my old man, he grew up in that area while the freeways were going in. Hes got some great stories. The second was is in downtown LA, you can see city hall.

I know, I couldn't find the exact one, but you KNOW it is going to look basically the same.

Seriously - the DQ owner's name is "Affholter?" I'll bet that was intentionally mispronounced a lot.

You know it! At least you would have to mispronounce it, I have seen many people with names you don't even have to mispronounce to be hilarious! How about "The Ho" no kidding, I am not making this up, we had a customer and THAT was their name, that spelling, everything! We had one guy who's name and I forget how it was spelled but it was pronounced S H I T. This is the thing, I have thought about this. If I move to some country that my name means a prostitute I am going to change it to "The Ho," You know what I mean?

No DQ in Brookings anymore? I used to stop there every trip to the beach. I have a collection of a dozen of their Christmas glasses from a whole year of visits to Brookings.

No DQ in Gold beach anymore. No fast food at all unless you count Grocery Store fried chicken. Gold beach is already dead just decaying now. Brookings is getting a new one and prolly tear down the old one. Theres a pic of pre 54 AD hanging there (and other older DQ's) its painted white with DQ all over it.

MARTINSR · 06-26-2019, 10:22 AM

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.

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.
