The Saturday Picture Show, June 28, 2025

 

Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers can let me know if this is still an approved way of keeping the class together when outside the school. I'm going to guess that it is not, but let us know, please!
There's a lot that's new and still a lot that's old in downtown Baltimore. See the building on the left in front of the four smokestacks? That was a Baltimore Gas & Electric power station back in the 1930s. My dad worked there at the time. The building still stands, although I don't know what's in there anymore. Dad would not recognize the old neighborhood today, but I am sure that even then, he would have said that swimming in the inner harbor was a bad idea. The downtown bigwigs keep pressing to have that happen, and all I can do is ask, are there no pools?
1939, Fourth of July, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. You can bet that these men all knew the best ways to cook grits.
This old Ford tractor, with an agricultural-based symbol, appears to be growling at the fields it will soon be plowing.
So your side mirror broke?! So are you going to go to the Chevy dealer and pay top dollar for an exact replacement, spend days haunting junk yards looking for just the right one, or go to Dollar Tree for something that's pretty doggone close to right? You betcha!
Been so hot here this week, this poor squirrel wonders why he got on that fur coat!
It can make you dizzy, looking down from the top of a staircase to see what you just climbed!
This was graffiti done to school walls, but don't get too upset - the building was days away from demolition, and the kids were allowed to use the walls for an art project that would last just a few days...
Last year, Joey Chestnut was thrown out of the July 4 Hot Dog Eating Competition because he signed an endorsement deal with a non-meat artificial dog. All is forgiven, and he will be back this year at the corner of Surf & Stillwell Aves. in Coney Island for Nathan's Annual GobbleFest. 
Bobby Sherman became a bubblegum idol, and then when that bubble burst, he was able to become an EMT, auxiliary police officer, and emergency medical training officer for the Los Angeles Fire and Police Depts. He was a good man and it's a shame to have to say goodbye to such people!
