    Wes Anderson period film: The Grand Budapest Hotel

    I saw it this weekend and enjoyed it much more than I expected. They even had a small part for Bill Murray; how could you go wrong? I guess I need to see a few more Wes Anderson flicks,

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Grand Budapest Hotel... I enjoyed it much more than I expected. And yes, Bill Murray had a part.

    I was afraid of that; I'm glad I posted. It was a beaut, local, but I couldn't get to the viewing. Tomorrow I'm taking one of my young proteges down to Batsakes in Cincinnati for a rite of passage, and a real shoeshine. Sort of a guys afternoon out. Thanks for the quick consult!

    I have a 911 question... I'm looking at a very clean straw boater with this tag... The only size reference is 6" W X 7.75" L It's beautiful and at $37 USD. I need a 7 3/8 102 minutes left in the auction! Any guess as to the size?

    Show us your vintage home!

    Thanks! The interior's real nice too. It's soon to be on the market - my wife's burned out in Cincy; it just wasn't a good fit for a Chicago girl.

    Show us your vintage home!

    My 1923 Cotswold Tudor-style in inner-city Cincinnati a.k..a the gaslight community , a.k.a. the 'hood'. Steam heat with vintage asbestos pipe wrapping.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    All kidding aside, I captured this Hoosier shot in Batesville, IN... Dexter??

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Eight seasons and I'm stuck on episode 6 of season 1 and questioning why I just burned 5 hours of my life? I think I'm going to cut my losses and stop here.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Dexter... I still can't quite figure out what I'm watching. I just don't get it. Segue back to movies, however, and if you're a Christopher Walken fan, you'll love this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/18/walken-dancing_n_4987313.html?1395171926

    The not so mad hatter.

    Interesting article... it gives new insights into camel urine. I always wondered what purpose it served. Actually, I enjoyed following some of the references and looking at the primary sources. More esoteric knowledge from the Forum.

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    Asbestos woes... I'm preparing my 1923 Cotswold Tudor-style home for sale. All the steam pipes through the basement are covered in a corrugated (presumed) asbestos paper wrap. Most are in good 90-year old shape, but some have wear around the edges. The question is remove? encapsulate? enclose...

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    I'm sitting in a steam heated 1923 tudor style house now. I love steam heat vs. forced air. There are downsides like radiators, but its quiet, warm and doesn't blow dust. My complaint with older homes is zero to minimal insulation in the walls. Everyone blew popcorn or other insulation into...

    Constellation postcards

    Too bad no Ecuatoriana card... I could have used one this evening in the Vintage Aeroplane thread in the forum.

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    1966 Miami to Quito in an Ecuatoriana Lockheed Constellation. It probably timed-out in the States and was sold to Ecuador.

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    I agree completely... my one and only Slivo experience ranks among the top three worst experiences in my drinking life.

    How to Know if You're in The Right Bar

    I grew up on Schlitz till it started tasting like acetone. It was big in the Chicago bars with Strohs and Hamms. About 2-3 years ago, the supermarket chain had Schlitz 12-packs in the cooler. Didn't last. I wonder why? Back then the neighborhood bars were as much a social club as a bar. The...

    How to Know if You're in The Right Bar

    Cincinnati Magazine actually rated the #1 Dive Bar. It was a half block from my apartment and I found it all by myself - didn't need a magazine. Very blue collar. You know its the right place if the bartender periodically goes around and picks up the heads of those patrons resting on the bar to...
