This is my TV/record player/telephone/compass/ Sat nav/ encyclopedia/ video/ Camera ....combo...

I remember when I was a teenager and had a dansette record player which was all the rage, and my father pointing at the household radiogram/record player and saying..''that dansette will never replace this... it's a quality piece of furniture as well as being a functional thing, it will never go out of style... Boy, was HE wrong...

I remember as a kid, the garbage men used to stand on the back of the garbage truck and ride it.

At any rate, phew... I can't imagine the ripe smell emitting from the truck on a hot day and sitting in the back.

Always loved Mustangs... at least the early models that were fun/sporty cars. Not so much now that they are "muscle" cars

1960's architecture, specifically residential architecture, that still looks as perfectly fresh and in keeping with today's modern styles.

And then there was the Greene & Rogers (ca. 1933 - 1939) modernist style of homes, which to this day I would just love to own.

Here is a classic example of Greene & Rogers home from back in the day!

IMO they never go out of style.

This Chapel was a special project by architect Frank Lloyd Wright :



The Pettit Memorial Chapel is a small structure on the grounds of Belvidere Cemetery in Belvidere, Illinois. Emma Glasner Pettit, the sister of William A. Glasner, for whom Wright designed a home Glencoe in 1905, commissioned the chapel in honor of her deceased husband, William H. Pettit. The chapel consists of a long narrow porch and an adjoining, rectangular room for memorial services. Raised above ground level, the chapel is accessed via a staircase at the front of the porch, or a set of angled staircases that flank the meeting room at the rear of the porch. Just as he did in his residential designs, Wright included a centrally located fireplace with a broad chimney that emerges from a low-hipped roof.
