The Serpico park scene with Pacino meeting the detectives to tell them he didn’t want any money, was filmed just past the buildings on the left. Many years later of course.
Yankee Stadium is behind the photographer.
Awesome pictures. Thank you.

Speaking of uncles, we have an odd formal portrait of hubby's great-uncle Frank as a child in 1914, and after receiving his commission in 1938.

Good catch!
I always forget what side of the river Iam on. I should know better, I am in there several times a week. Nearly every morning I make my rounds between Bob’s, Sportsman’s, Gator’s, Walmart and On Target.

Last week I went out to lunch with a friend and he wanted to stop at WM, I haven't been there since they stopped selling hand gun ammo, I went to the sporting goods dept, they only had a few boxes of ammo, I didn't bother looking to see what it was.

Speaking of vintage photographs, here are a few that have personal meaning for me.
This is a shot of Good Samaritan hospital in Phoenix from 1939, the year I was born there. It was torn down roughly 40 years ago and replaced by a more modern structure. Three of my four children were also born in that older building.
...and this is the very place I was born - the delivery room in that hospital - taken pretty close to the time I first saw the light of day.
...and here is a modern-day photo of the little house in Globe, Arizona, where my parents were living in 1939. It still stands, and the records show that it was built in 1916.

I went out the other morning to try and get the snowcat started.
It was 10° and the batteries were too low to spin the engine fast
enough to start so I had to charge them up for a while.

Got it fired up. Its powered by a 5.0L 4 cylinder Mercedes Benz.
It sounds like a rock crusher when it starts up in the cold.

Got it in the shop. I replaced the old defective battery charger/tender,
checked all the fluid levels and greased all of the grease zerk fittings.
Now it sits in one of our RV campsites with the battery tender
and block heater plugged in waiting for it to snow.
We had a bad year for snow last year and this looks to be another bad year.
We need snow bad.

I've been a Bob's shopper for years!
I pass through Longview once in a while, but I haven't done too much shopping since they cut off our tax break.

I've got a picture somewhere of my dad as a baby with Shirley Temple curls. I'll have to dig that one out. In the mean time, here he is later as a young officer.

Built in 1915.

Cheating again, with odd random things that caught my eye which I didn't photograph.
Seen massively long wind turbine blades moving down the interstate before, but it never occurred to me how they navigate tight turns. This is a 220 foot long blade, ingeniously pivoting skyward to clear obstacles on the ground. Probably sporty on a windy day.

You're not cheating at all. We enjoy your pictures whether you took them or not.

Unique Marine Uniforms
This uniform combination caught my eye.
Marines preparing for Inauguration Day ceremonies wore black face masks, white gloves — and an unusual combination of a Vietnam-era field jacket in woodland camouflage with their khaki-and-olive green service dress uniforms.
The Field Jacket is primarily worn to simulate the Dress Blue jacket. The field jacket’s rough similarities to the blues coat allow a Marine to place the formal uniform’s belt at the right height to practice fixing and unfixing a bayonet to his M1 Garand rifle.
