LA's first telephone pay station was located at 228 South Spring Street in 1899. The young man, Roy E Jellison, was a messenger boy then and was still an employee of the phone company in 1934

One dollar in 1899 is about 33.87 bucks today. So a 10 minute conversation was going to cost over $169 in today's money.

The oldest house in France. It's found In Aveyron, it's 700 years old, it was built in the 13th century and belonged to a Jeanne.
The ground floor is a little smaller than the upstairs because in those times you only paid taxes on occupied land, so everyone built like this, ′′ cheating "!
The house tells us Jeanne was relatively rich, because she's built from stone.

The Germans and Austrians had the same models in their hotels. Pretty gross. At leastt there no bidets.

Perhaps the closest German equivalent.

H-53
The U.S. Air Force H-53 began its legacy in late 1967 during the Vietnam War as the HH-53B Super Jolly Green Giant, created as the finest combat search and rescue helicopter in the world. A total of 72 HH-53B and HH-53C helicopter variants were ordered by the USAF. During the H-53’s first three years of service between 1967 and 1970 it was credited with over 371 combat rescues.
The MH-53M PAVE LOW IV was retired in September 2008 in Iraq upon flying its last mission in combat.

Some intrepid early motorist was keen to nab the bragging rights of being the first person to drive through the Hill St Tunnels in downtown Los Angeles in September 1913.
From what we can see in this photo, the tunnel was far from being finished. I can’t imagine the suspension on that automobile was great (or even existed) so that would have been one heck of a bumpy ride.

Here is an early black & white linen postcard of "Butler's Grill - Highway 66 - Pacific, Missouri" and DX station. With homemade chili & Hires root beer.

"February 8, 1954 – The Pacific, Missouri Transcript reported that two “colored girls in a new Cadillac” had stopped at Butler’s Grill and left a purse behind containing $1,000 in bonds, $600 in traveler's checks, and $120 in cash. The purse belonged to none other than entertainer Pearl Bailey, who returned and gave Mrs. Butler a $50 reward."

Platoro, Colorado had an initial boom starting in 1888 which only lasted a few years and resulted in a town of around 300 people. A second excitement in 1913 brought Platoro back to life, but was short-lived and the town was abandoned by the end of the decade.

There's men that somehow just grip your eyes, and hold them hard like a spell;
And such was he, and he looked to me like a man who had lived in hell;
With a face most hair, and the dreary stare of a dog whose day is done,
As he watered the green stuff in his glass, and the drops fell one by one.
Then I got to figgering who he was, and wondering what he'd do,
And I turned my head — and there watching him was the lady that's known as Lou.
