Given my heritage, there is New Jersey. more specifically, Atlantic City. This is me in 1964, and this bar reminds me of the famous SS Minnow (and I am old enough to remember that reference :) This was long before the glitzy casinos and hotels of today.
Another New Jersey 'J' is in 1969, also on the famous Boardwalk were you could rent a bicycle in the mornings. It was always a Joy to ride a bike in the briny Atlantic air!
Jewelry is on display at a local consignment shop, The Country Cottage in Seymour CT.
The final 'J' is Jaguar (car). I saw this at a local car show, the sign said 1948. I believe this is referred to as a 'drophead', what Americans call a convertible. Not only do we say it differently, I believe we drive on the wrong side of the road too :) That is me looking at this beauty...
This week's Favorite is a cardinal showing up the morning after a snowfall. Patti captured this fellow and his red plumage stands out so nicely against the Winter backdrop.
Captain Starn's looks like it was a fine establishment for a cold refreshment! Great vintage pic! I love that old Jaguar. I'm not always much of a car person but some cars really grab me, and that one is a beauty.
ReplyDelete...in the early '50s our family went to a Shiner's convention in Atlantic City and I remember Captain Starn's. What a great time walking on the boardwalk eating saltwater taffy! That Jag sure is a beauty. Thanks Ralph for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like the Jaguar. Ralph. I would have guessed it to be a prewar because of the body shape and the rounded side chrome (which resembles 38-40 Fords and Mercurys. Like the cardinal also, we don't have them down here.
