Page - you have to get a hold of one or more of John Bengston's books on the silent era film locations for the films of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd. I know you would appreciate them.

(Not always for the best!) <br /><br />You mentioned the bridle paths and I've seen a few images of them when they were actually being used by horses. It really does give you a peak into just how small and rural BH was back in the day. And I love seeing the images of the Beverly Hills hotel with guests arriving via horseback.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. I hope you're enjoying your summer out there amongst the stars.<br /><br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-87067055142687519542013-06-23T14:18:53.904-07:002013-06-23T14:18:53.904-07:00Wow, Page, you've done it again.

You would actually rather look at Bing and Bob than that gorgeous, Jon Hall? lol I hate that the image doesn't stretch side to side. Blogspot stinks or maybe I do but I got so frustrated after trying like 20 pics that were way too big. I'll probably change it from time to time now.<br /><br />I'm glad you guys are enjoying these postcards. Sometimes I wish we lived in simpler times. We certainly enjoyed family outings, road trips and playing cards, dice, dominoes when visiting the grandparents.<br /><br />See ya soon.

Served in the heavy frosted mugs. Of course I remember going to A&W when we were kids, visiting here in the summer. They had the Mama Burger, Papa Burger and Baby Burgers. ha ha<br /><br />I'm glad these postcards brought back memories for you to share.<br /><br />See ya soon!<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-33502268220095401662013-06-22T21:15:25.557-07:002013-06-22T21:15:25.557-07:00What a terrific collection of postcards, Page!

I always love seeing old-time movie theatres, and it's always fun discovering what film was playing at the time.<br /> <br />When I go home to Florida, I always have to visit my favorite little drive-in restaurant. It's not nearly as fancy as the Simons, but high school kids loved it! Those little "greasy spoons" make some of the best hamburgers on the planet.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing...and I'm so glad that your family is on the mend.<br /><br />Have a great day,<br />PattiPatti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-34976756091608955842013-06-22T14:14:49.237-07:002013-06-22T14:14:49.237-07:00Hi, Kim!

(Gosh, I hope it hasn't been that long!) <br /><br />These postcards were a steal at around $9.00. I think I'll send them to random strangers with just one greeting. "Welcome to Beverly Hills!" ha ha<br /><br />See ya over at your place! Now to get my header straightened out.
