January 19, 2011. Everything which would ordinarily go into the waste paper basket after use. Everything printed which is not actually a book. Despite real and digital survivals in collections around the world, these pieces of paper were and are ephemeral—-who knows how many were produced? Survivals are like captured fleeting images from the past, and great examples of both print and popular culture. What did you throw in the trash today that might be valued by historians tomorrow? In the Bodleian Library.

https://streetsofsalem.com/2014/08/11/chrome-crush
August 11, 2014. I was not going to post on the (13th) annual Antique Car Meet sponsored by Historic New England’s Phillips House. All the cars had their particular admirers, but it seemed to me that the three-wheeled 1955 Messershmitt drew the most consistent attention. Very cute. But once I spotted it, the only red that I could see was another little German car, a 1958 BMW Isetta 600 Limo! This entry was posted on Monday, August 11th, 2014 at 6:29 am and tagged with BMW.

What started out as a small neighborhood event–a meeting of vintage automobiles on Chestnut Street sponsored by Historic New England’s Phillips. Accompanied by a makeshift lemonade stand organized by local children–has grown to a large assemblage of both cars. 8221; of last year, a BMW Isetta 600 Limo. The Heinkel was...

November 23, 2012. Eat, drink and shop: the association of Thanksgiving and commerce is nothing new. Pilgrims were used to pitch almost everything in the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries: not so much now. I’ve seen pilgrim advertisements for all sorts of food and drink, which is understandable, but there were also lots of ads for various types of. Which is not really that logical an association; after all, one does not think of the Pilgrims as. Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. Seldom-in-need-of da...
