That's pretty cool Doug!
I found a shot of this old theater...
I recently finished a two year odessy working on the renovation of this awesome old building.

Oh wait... They just called me last week, with yet more work to do on it.
Seems like I'm never gonna get out of there...

Wow I just received an email yesterday with that site. It's a small world.
I love looking at the older pictures and wondering what it might have been like.

I got this link in an email a while back, but I had forgotten about it. The even have my little hometown.

I used to swim in this pool when I was growing up. The Columbus Motel belonged to the family of a really good friend of mine, and was only three or four blocks from my house. That is just too cool.

I spent my childhood just down the road from this camp.

I watched many trains of troops going in and out during WWII and explored many of the outlying areas after I was a little older and the war was done.

No Canadian towns that I could see, but I did find this card. I've hiked this route twice.

The closest I could find to Canarsie, Brooklyn were these shots of Coney Island, about 5 miles from where I grew up.

LOOK AT THE WAY THOSE PEOPLE DRESSED JUST TO GO TO AN AMUSEMENT PARK! JACKETS AND TIES!!!
