old Litter Sign in Port Richmond

For pete's Sake....I remember these also being in the subways back in the late 1960's....this was found on a pole in port richmond.....amazing what survives!

Ritz Theater Staten Island, NY 1926

Recently a friend lent me this to scan, it's a rare program from the Ritz Theater Staten Island, NY from way back in 1926. Interesting note about the bus running 6 times an hour! Wow, wish we could get that today!
These thumbnails are the links to the individual pages, enjoy!

some recent random thoughts

Came upon a true "sign of the times" today, when walking past Merlino photo, I was surprised to see that they (finally) changed the photos in the window....they are all mexicans now in the pics. Merlino knows which side her bread is buttered!

Ralph's opened last week, but what's with all these flavors? Jeez, I recall a time when they added "rainbow" ice, and it was a big deal!...and BTW, I don't want to drink anything called a "Ralphie"... I noticed sedutto's ice cream is coming to the pizzeria on Albion! Remember sedutto's?

I see they are having religious services at the st. george theater (drawing record crowds) on sundays now. This from the same christian group housed in that huge "church" on richmond ave. Another great move by the owners of the theater.
You know, I remember seeing the ground-breaking legendary chic porn film: "the devil in miss jones" there back in the 70's. It appears the st. george has come full circle. They went from projecting films of people screwing to actually screwing people. BTW- I received a recruitment postcard from the group, and in bold letters it proclaims: "We Love Children!".....scary.
