    Vintage Clubs/Orgs in Indianapolis

    I realize this thread is several years old, but I just found it in a search and wanted to reply. I just moved to Indy a year ago and I too would like to find more people in the area, fellow loungers or otherwise, who are into vintage places, clothing, lifestyle, etc. An occasional meet up would...

    Greetings from Los Angeles... and some noob questions

    Welcome to the Lounge and your new obsession. Living in LA, you have an advantage over a lot of us when it comes to collecting, what with all the cool vintage stuff that Hollywood seems to discard from time to time.

    What's for Dinner?

    Dinner tonight: Kielbasa and sauerkraut, with potatoes and corn. My lady is cooking tonight and it will be waiting when I get home from work.

    The End of the Era ...

    I hear that a private corporation intends to conduct a moon mission within the next few years.

    The smartest, most timeless sunglasses?

    Classic Wayfarers all the way. I prefer them in tortoise shell, as I think the lighter look is a little more vintage-y and a little less cliched. Clubmasters run a close second, but the '70s ruined Aviators for me.

    What's for Dinner?

    Dinner tonight, a slow-cooked beef roast. My recipe is super simple: A roast, baby red potatoes, onions, carrots, McCormick's beef stew seasoning pack, one can or bottle of Coke (16 to 18 oz), and enough water to almost cover.

    Indianapolis: A Vintagey Place to Live

    Just found this thread. I moved to Indy from Alabama about a year ago and love it here. I live on the Southside, just off Keystone and just inside the "Loop", in an area feels very rural yet is only 10 minutes from downtown. By far my favorite "vintage-y" area of the city has to be Fountain...

    Vintage roadside

    I have to laugh every time I pass by this sign on Meridian Street near downtown Indianapolis. I believe the place, Berringer's Tavern, is now permanently closed, but local word is it was once a great place to eat.

    Vintage roadside

    I'm planning a short road trip soon down the first portion of Historic ROUTE 66, from it's start in Chicago to St. Louis. I live in Indy so that would be just a big triangle for me. Any suggestions for not-to-miss stops that might be of interest to a fellow Lounger?

    Maltese Falcon on the big screen

    Luckily there's an AMC theater less then two miles from my house. Got my tickets today for the 7pm showing tomorrow. Very Excited to see this classic film on the silver screen.

    Grease Up

    That jacket is so shiny it looks like vinyl.

    Headed to CHICAGO for a couple days . . .

    . . . and looking for suggestions from my fellow Loungers on what to see and do while there besides the typical tourist fair. Places that would be of particular interest to the Fedora Lounge crowd.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    The Nation's very first 911 service was installed in the unlikely town of Haleyville, Alabama, in the late 1960's, and at 2 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 16, 1968 the first 911 call was placed from the mayor's office, and answered a short distance away at the police station. I know this because the very...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I just put a new Dobbs fedora on layaway yesterday at a local hat shop. Will probably pick it up next week. It's my very first new fedora. All my others have been vintage.

    I want to learn to dress in modern/timeless style

    You can dress trendy or you can dress classic. Rarely do both styles converge. Good taste however, never goes out of style.

    Powerball up to 1 billion - what tools would you buy?

    I would establish a major motion picture studio somewhere other than Hollywood, but largely based on to old Hollywood studio system, pre-1960s. Then set about producing a number of films I'd love to see made, that there's little to no chance of Hollywood ever doing. Most would be period...

    Vintage roadside

    I grew up in the Shoals area, but have lived all over northern Alabama. Huntsville was the last place I lived before moving to Indy a few months ago. However, I always did most of my western shopping in Nashville or online.

    Hey, I know that place. Been by it many times but never went in.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    They said it was somewhere around 15F here in Indy today. I've seen the wind chill lower my native Alabama, at about -5, but I've never seen water instantly freeze when splashed on a windshield before. That happened today.

    What's for Dinner?

    My lady's homemade meatloaf for dinner tonight when I get home after work. But last night I made myself this delicious midnight Mexican omelet made with chorizo, pico de gallo, shredded cheddar, and topped with sour cream. I crave these things!
