The Old Picture of the Day Blog is featuring pictures of old cars all week, starting March 28th. The last three photos are of women driving cars back in the '10s and '20s. I didn't even though they were much allowed to drive back then.
A 1914 photo shows cabs line up in front of Washington, DC's Union Station (cabs that long ago?). A very interesting picture is of a US senator and wife in an auto looking more like a carriage without the horses and with two men sitting up front.
Well worth a look at http://old-photos.blogspot.
Also, the April 1st Shorpy photo site had a picture of Dr. Samuel M. Johnson standing in front of the Zero Mile Marker near the White House in Washington, DC, with the title "Nothing Special, 1925."
This led to lots of other research on my part and lots of interesting information.
More on Dr. Johnson, the ZMM and Lee Highway Later. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
