I may just buy the watch – it’s beautiful and that’s a great price.
Robert, is the strap pictured the black or the brown?
Nice quote by Bogie! I’d like to walk into Romanoff’s, sit down with him and talk.
Rick, the Elora Mill Inn doesn’t look long for this world. Mother nature is patient!
Jack Nicholson looks like a regular guy there.
Nice pictures!
The mill’s been there for almost 200 years, Bill – still solid as a rock. Even the flowerpot island – the “Tooth of Time” – is holding on, still looking like it did 100 years ago. (Though it was reinforced with concrete at one point.) If you’re ever in that part of the world it’s worth staying at the Inn – recently renovated at a cost of many millions, and very nice. The town is lovely as well.
Zoomed in on the Nicholson picture to see what he was listening to – only recognized the first Doors and Crosby, Stills & Nash records. (Neither of which were surprising.)
I used to listen to music with ear phones. I started in basic training and my wife used to watch TV ands I would listen to classical music with ear phones. It probably caused my hearing loss. Fortunately only moderate. My wife’s is worse.
The Constantine Joffe Vogue photo looks so contemporary. Except for the car and the clothes, of course, which remind me of how much uglier the world has become. And the watch is a great deal!
Nicely done, Robert. I wasn’t familiar with Peggy Dow. Her photo is interesting. She is obviously attractive and her reading a book makes her look… approachable. She looks like the typical 1950’s TV mother –sexy, yet not in a sophisticated or slutty way. Her 9 movies were made between 1949-’51. I love the diner and the watch.
