Somebody bought over 5000 slides from a Mountain Brook (Birmingham), Alabama estate for $150 and posted a number of them on Flickr
Quote:
This guy had a high paying job and traveled on business. He went to Europe 6 times, Cuba, Hawaii, Japan, and many US trips. Slides include sporting events, inaugeration parades, people, travel, World's Fairs and so much more.
He's posted 177 of them, from the '50s and '60s, including many national parks, '64 Words Fair, '65 Seattle, '61 Idlewild Airport and much more, including a graduation at Oberlin College in '59. The cars and street clothes are cool and the quality of the pictures is befitting someone that can afford an expensive camera.

What a nice vacation. I enjoyed all 183 pictures. What a steal for $150. I've been to many of the places in the current set. Of course I could name the street intersection for most of the Seattle pics. That is the most appealing tour of New York I've ever seen. I kept expecting to see Rock Hudson or Doris Day stroll across the frame.

I've been most of those places, also. Interesting to the changes.
I vividly remember the World's Fair in '64, so those pics jarred my memory.
I had to laugh at the Idlewild '62/JFK'65 pictures, nothing like that today. There was actually open, vacant, unused, parking spots.

Surprisingly entertaining online billiards.

You can turn off the music, and the product placement doesn't interfere with the gameplay.
