Things from the past

We lived there too when I was born.

Michaelson Farm. I think the house is still there, but Oracle, or some big company bought the rest of the land.

Cool! It's definitely not the same town is was back then.

In my curio cabinet I have fancy 'fake' cakes displayed like these..... They came from the Victorian Trading Co. catalog.

True. Just west of there though. Very nice area. We love riding over that way

The two player table game was better. Spent way too many quarters on it in my favorite bar.

I didn’t much care for the sit down machines unless it was Pole Position.

I have a dumb brother-in-law that in our teen years actually touched the glowing red area of that device.....and he was a smoker and should've known better.

We (my wife anyway) bought one of those for my daughter for Christmas last year at her request. She put it in the rec room where I sleep when we visit (I like to watch tv late at night). When the tv is off it makes so damn much noise with all the gears and levers turning that I had to stop it so I could go to sleep.

My dad had one of these in his business basement. It was actually used there years prior because the business was 170 yrs old when it closed.

It was (as I called it) the IRS special.View attachment 210583
