Our own vintage town

[dhermann1]

Fun to see this topic revived. I'll now revive the most popular bone of contention in it: Can we maybe move this charming town to a more temperate climate? I believe I saw a comment in another post that mentioned the "regular oven they call Texas". If we could haul it just a few miles further north, to where average temperatures get below 100, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Or maybe this can be our warm weather "own vintage town", and we can keep looking for a cold weather one. I know for a fact that both rural Pennsylvania and upstate New York have zillions of nice little towns that would make great candidates.

Hey, somebody's gotta draw those long, cold, dark, lonely watches in the middle of the night so the lovely ladies of our community (and everyone else, too lol ) can sleep peacefully in their beds... right?

I will scare up a Neighborhood Crime Watch if someone will supply the coffee, donuts, and several fast cars. I recommend Ford V-8s, known to be the desperado's favorite.

I'm not leaving Europe, especially not for somewhere Hot!
I think France may be a good spot, there is lots of land, its cheap, lots of history, Health & Safety have less power there, lots of wine

I'd love to live in the UK or Germany but its soo expensive there and there arent many ghosttowns or abandoned estates.
A Scandinavion country might be interesting as well, lots of space there and not too hot!

Anyway, check google for something called 'Urban exploration', people going around the world looking for abandoned houses, factories, etc.
Ive spotted a nice 1920s childrens home in belgium, with swimming pool and own theatre

PS, im completely 100% serious about this plan, if something like this ever comes of the ground in europe im packing my bags and moving in!

Hmmmmm . . . . . France! Now there's an idea! Citroens, berets. I'm thinking Jacques Tati's darling flic "Jour de Fete." A very different vintage town from what you'd find in the USA. An intriguing idea. I guess now we have to have MULTIPLE vintage towns, one per continent.

Geez, for $190,000 I would buy it. Where's the link? Does it come with the old truck in picture 11?
I can see it now. No hippies, flip flops or hatless heads allowed.
The temperature should be just fine for me.

Well, its up there now in price!! Yo ahve to ask yourself,..what do the people in the town think about this??

Seriously though,...what I want to know is,....do these gals come with the auction?? I mean they ARE pictured in the auction and all!!

Its worth much more now that you add that to the property.

lol lol lol lol lol
Just imagine them dressed correctly. Don't forget---a la Al Capone's clubs---we have a dress code that involves hats and gloves for women and suits for men unless engaged in hard work. Then you have to wear a hat.
I think they would make good carhops at the drive-in though.

Not to my town!
My vintage town is a proper decent town, not a 50s hollywood fantasy!
In my nice town people do kinky nastyness behind closed doors on in that club in that allyway behind the cinema!
The way it should be!

Women in my town look like this;

No flappers allowed?????

Oh dear -- I'll have to remember to keep my eyes closed when I take the stale popcorn out to the trash.

 

[missjo]

Naughtyness is so much more fun when secretive and hidden from public

So only proper authentic 1930s dressed people in our streets during the day!
For everything else... well just follow the spilled pop corn

Club Interbellum

I like it! It will probably be full of antipodean contrarian cross dressers.
