1905 Broughton St in Savannah. This was/is the main shopping street downtown.

A few different bikes in that pic. The Adler department store on the left was THE store in Savannah for decades. Leopold Adler started that business when he was a newlywed living in our house in 1873 after it was built by his father-in-law (Simon Guckenheimer).

Old photo of what would become the Crystal Beer Parlor in the 30s. The grandmother of my best friend growing up owned this place when I was a kid and lived in the top floor. I spent the night there a few times and remember being run out of the restaurant kitchen by giving us boys a plate of giant steak fries as long as we stayed in one of the booths in the restaurant.

Check out the killer Colson Clipper in this pic. No idea what town this was taken in.

A nice lady in my neighborhood has seen me riding and thought I'd like to know about her father who was quite the racer in the early 1900s. She sent me pictures of medals he won in League of American Wheelmen races and this photo. He went back to Italy for a few years (during WWI) where this was taken. He is wearing the GIL FANO jersey. Neat picture.

I don't if these pictures fit this thread, theyre from the 1990's.

Me in my BMX-ing days. Will scan them for a better quality soon.

Open toes and a hatchet... How I've grown

Open toes and a hatchet... How I've grown

Not really still look the same and probably still have the open toes

 

[MattiThundrrr]

probably still have the open toes

Toes yes, sandals are long gone. Still chopping with the same hatchet, and that hat is also still sharp

@MattiThundrrr would remember these

Also my first job drove one of these around the Ottawa valley (name tells you what the terrain was like) I was 12 (no that's not me)

That 1st kid was clearly not happy with those horrible pants. Then... the kid in the beanie had to wait for a monkey.

Notice the battered Hupmobile Skylark in the background. Or is it a Graham-Paige Hollywood?
