A friend of mine just bought a car from that area. Old Brown Chrysler New Yorker and the license plate literally said cheese.
Picked up this 1940s Huffman/Dayton 24" girls bike in walking distance (12 blocks) from my house. Basically a parts bike. 24" 144 spoke wheelset, cruiser spring saddle, chainring, handlebars, bow pedals, axle adjuster screws, fat 24" fenders, plus a like new foot pump. Worth the walk (couldn't ride it back) and the $20 I spent.
I've used these MASSLOAD butterfly kickstands a few times (including on Uncle Stretch and HEXtreme), so I made an offer of $40 shipped for two of them from an ebay seller and he accepted.
Keeping those wheels?
Picked up a GT Dyno MotoGlide 4 speed with roller brakes recently.
Original down to the tires it looks!
Looks like a good project. And it’s purple, so extra points! Nice fenders too.
What makes it a “motoglide”? A decal? (I’m not seeing any “moto” there.)
One thing I don’t like is bikes that have big high rise bars, and a tiny seat. Where I live it would be seen as a typical goofy mismatched “homeless biker” look.
Also, I have a bucket of those bicycle spoke reflectors. That’s the first thing I take off of a bike when I get it.

I am glad that I don't live where you do.
It wouldn’t surprise me if you were, and for many reasons. I live in one of those neighborhoods where old people usually look to see if a guy on a bicycle looks homeless or not, before they call the police. I look too suspicious already!
Half the people here are afraid to even drive a car on the road, so if you’re on a bicycle you’re either a freak, a kid, a fitness nut, a poor student, or homeless. And the traffic here is particularly nice compared to wealthy places like Santa Barbara and San Francisco.
Clearly too shiny for the bike of a vagrant.
Picked up this Mango Toucan 3 speed tonight after dinner. Mainly got it for the diamond edge tires.
