    when did phone #s go to 7 digit numbers?

    My father grew up in a very small town in Michigan in the 40's and 50's and he says that the operators knew all the gossip in town and also that when my dad wanted to find one of his friends, the operator would usually know if the person was at their house or had gone to visit someone else...

    What we've lost since the Golden Era

    I'd argue that we've lost sincerity which has too often been replaced with irony.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Bashing? What's the point of bashing your own hat? I have about 5 hats now and every one has come with already bashed from the hat stores where they have been purchased. I'm just curious as to why so many people talk about doing their own bashing?

    Books signed by the author

    I have several books signed by the authors... I have a few signed Robert B. Parker from a book signing I attended a few years back. He is one of my favorite authors and I'm sad that he recently passed away. I have a book by Warren Miller given to me as gift by my in-laws because I enjoy...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I just read through this entire thread and now I am even more ready for Season 4 to finally get here. I've recently turned one of my co-workers on to the show and he has been watching the DVDs. He was planning to watch Season 3 over the weekend so I'm looking forward to his reaction to things...

    Allen Edmonds:How many??

    I have 8 pairs of AE's, if I'm not forgetting any. My favorites would have to be my McCallister's in a cordovan, reddish, color although my black Park Avenues would be up there as well.

    Do you own a Tux?

    Well at least mine doesn't have belt loops and I do wear a cummerbund. I have lace-up shoes though, but they are patent leather which is far and away better than some of the shoes you see people wearing even at black tie events lol

    Do you own a Tux?

    Yeah, I know that peaked or shawl lapels are technically more correct. Then again, I always dreamed of being a lounge singer so I'm OK with my notch lapels. :)

    The Suits you see on Ebay? Any tips?

    I've bought several suits on Ebay. The keys are to know your sizing, know what brands you like and read the descriptions VERY carefully. It really helps to go to a real store first and try suits on so you get a sense of what you like and how different brands fit.

    Do you own a Tux?

    I have a single breasted, notch lapel, 100% wool tuxedo that I bought new on Ebay a few years back. It's a no-name label but it looks nice. I wear it a few times a year to various events. I've definitely saved money by owning it rather than having to rent for those occasions. Reading this...

    when did phone #s go to 7 digit numbers?

    In the small Michigan town where I attended college in the late 80's, every number in town started with the same two digits so you could make a local call just by dialing the last 5 numbers. As to the proliferation of area codes, I've always understood it was caused in large part by the...

    The Return of the Man's Man

    P.S. Forgot to mention that its funny how the mainstream media is just catching on to this whole movement. This site and others have been around for several years, but apparently now they are getting some attention.

    The Return of the Man's Man

    I think a lot of this "return of men's men" stuff is a reaction to the changing economic times and the downturn in the economy. As a website that enjoys history, this whole change seems similar to what I've read about the change in the US after the Roaring 20's and the 1929 Market Crash. It...

    Where are the Great Steak Houses??????

    Sacramento has the big chains like Mortons and Ruth's Chris. They are dependably good. From this thread I think I am going to have to try Cattleman's. If you're in Phoenix, aside from the chains, you should try Durant's. It's one of the oldest restaurants in town and the place where the...
