"Sweet! I know exactly where York is. (I lived in Philly for 4 years, so somewhat familiar with PA too). I was looking for a Saturday activity. Do you have any more info on the event?"

Off to Charm City

I'm off to Baltimore for a couple weeks and curious - any good ephemera spots? I actually lived there a couple years back (although only for a few months) but ephemera wasn't on my radar then so I am clueless!Thanks in advance for the help.See More

Be Thankful - Special Thanksgiving Gift to Veterans

I've acquired a lot of these stamps/tags, and would like to extend an offer to our nation's bravest citizens.

Please chime in if you know anything about these!See More

Dorothy Dandridge 1954 LIFE magazine?

About 2 years ago, I gave a copy of a 1954 November issue LIFE magazine, Dorothy Dandridge on cover, to a good friend.

"David, I stayed in London for several months back in 2002. Had I more than a nickel to my name, I'd have been back since! Lovely, peculiar place. I recommend the weekend market along Portabello Road. The shops are open all week, but the stalls…"

"Paul - My, you all are an egalitarian bunch! Glad to see I won't be stoned. I'll have to post some of my collages and get some feedback as well. For better or worse :)"

"Frank - From working with architects, I've learned that *almost* nothing is sacred. It is the rare building that gets preserved as is; more oft, it's remodeled 30 years down the road for "reuse" as a completely different type of…"

"Mike - Thanks for chiming in! I never thought about anything I made becoming part of a future collection. What a very strange thought! (at least to me). I do think about what I would leave behind if I died, how much of a mess it would be as I am a…"
