Throwback Thursday "Rockefeller Center 1941"

Going through my vintage photos again, I was amazed to find this one! My Auntie Ann (in the polka dot dress) in Rockefeller Center, dated 05/30/1941 ! I recognized it because of the statue, luckily she wrote on the photo where it was and the date. This is really so cool! I love the way everyone looks like they are so dressed up just walking around. Hats were such a staple in those days. I think it's cool that you can look at these photos and easily tell where it was taken. I never visited the city with my Auntie Ann, but I feel if we ever did, we would have caused a bit of trouble together!

Throwback Thursday "A 1941 Cadillac"

A very fabulous photo from my family archives. This photo just oozes cool to me. I really love the cars from the 1940's and 1950's. They just had such style and class, don't you think? This car is a 1941 Cadillac, which at the time, cost $1,495.00. This was a local gas station in my hometown, and the attendant loved taking photos with the gorgeous cars that stopped by. For my newer readers, my parents had me much later in life. The handsome attendant is my Dad! I have been just watching the Italian Americans on PBS, and I must say, feel bad that neither of my parents can enjoy such an interesting documentary. It is available to watch on the PBS website which I think is just wonderful. If you are of Italian heritage, it is a must see!
