Thunderbird Motel
From Wildwood, NJ's Thunderbird Inn. Back in the day, this was considered a fancy place to stay on vacation, at least among Philly rowhouse denizens.

Yuengling Beer
Around 2005 (or was it 2006?) I was considering leaving the City of Bothersome Love to move upstate, mainly because my nextdoor neighbor was driving me insane.
One of the properties I looked at - a historic mansion dealie with tons and tons of space and only costing $60K or so --was right near the Yuengling brewery.
I've never been a smoker but I love old ashtrays like these. I always look at them when I thrift.
ReplyDeleteI'm a non-smoker as well -- always have been -- but these really appeal to me. Now if I could just figure out how to mount them on the wall...
