Frankenmuth, Michigan

A German settlement known throughout the State for its chicken dinners, served harvester style, and its Frankenmuth beer. It was settled in 1845 by a group of Franconians from Bavaria and, later, by refugees from the unsuccessful German revolution of 1848.

The neat village, spread out for some distance, has retained its German flavor; most of the inhabitants are descendants of the original settlers and speak the German language.

from Michigan: A Guide to the Wolverine State, 1941

I highly recommend taking a trip to experience the sights and sounds of Frankenmuth.

Southernmost School of Beauty Culture - Key West, Florida

This picture taken in Key West, Florida shows the Southernmost Beauty School in the United States. The young ladies pictured with the teacher, are students learning to become professional beauticians. The white flowers showing on the tree behind the school sign are frangipani blossoms. The frangipani tree thrives only in a tropical frost free climate such as that in Key West and it blooms nearly all year around. The other tree with the red clustered blossoms is a royal poinciana.
This royal poinciana blooms from May to October and can survive light frosts well enough to grow quite plentifully throughout tropical south Florida.

Mailed from Bradenton, Florida to Mr. K.L. Hughes of New York, New York on August 19, 1960:

Ken,
Weather lovely. Drive was very easy. Did almost 600 miles today! Haven’t found anyone around here that looks like her! I’m going to keep looking. - Joe

Flintstones Bedrock City - Custer, South Dakota

Bedrock City, located on 30 acres, just outside of Custer, South Dakota, opened in 1966 by two local cement plant owners with an idea to build a replica of the popular Flintstones town of Bedrock.

The town features all the popular characters, their houses, Main Street, a City Hall, a Fire House, a working Cimena, a radio station, grocery store, police department and a Flintstones version of Mt. Rushmore (located nearby) called Mt. Rockmore.

Originally, the town and characters were made of cement but the majority of them have been replaced by fiberglass replicas of the original.

There is also a campground located behind the park that features an arcade, laundry, swimming pool, playground and putt-putt golf course.

Check out Roadside America and the Bedrock City website for more information.

Anchorage, Alaska: Before and After March 27, 1964

Today marks the 49th anniversary of the largest earthquake ever recorded in North America.

March 27, 1964 at 5:36 P.M. Alaska Standard Time, a magnitude 9.2 earthquake (the 2nd largest ever recorded), that lasted nearly 3 minutes, shook Southern Alaska. The quake and tsunamis due to the quake killed 131 people.

The majority of the damage was done Anchorage. The majority of the city was either sunken or crumbled under the immense pressure of the quake.

The love for money is the root of all evils
