Our county fair takes place on a 200 acre fairgrounds, and attendance is a couple hundred thousand.
Besides the midway, with carnival rides and games, and the buildings for crafts and selling geegaws, we have animal barns, with show rings for various kind of livestock judging.. Adult, Junior, 4H… everything from market steers, to cows, goats, sheep and pigs… Also rabbits, chickens… You name it. And a sanctioned racetrack, plus an off-track betting lounge.
…
This drawing shows how you can have a county fair in places like New York City…. where you have only 4 square city blocks, and three million people might attend.
Sorry, no room for cows or horses. How about mice?
There’s gotta be a backstory, when you see a cow being pushed onto a bus, with placards advertising “Yolait… High quality pasteurized milk “.
Besides that, the destination sign says Levallois, which is probably Levallois-Perret, a posh suburb of Paris, and Le Place de La Liberation, which is in Dijon.
But according to Wikipedia those places are about 3 hours apart.
A very long time for a cow to ride a bus.
An even longer time, I would think, for people to be trapped in a bus with a cow.
I’m putting this caption from the Alamy website in a spoiler box because it is very depressing.
Members of 72nd Shinbu Squadron. Three of the five are 17 years old and the other two are 18 and 19 years old. The photo was taken the day before their mission. Left to right: front row Tsutomu Hayakawa, Yukio Araki, Takamasa Senda back row Kaname Takahashi, Mitsuyoshi Takahashi. Each of these young men were corporals. At 17, Yukio Araki is the youngest known Kamikaze pilot to die in the war. May 26, 1945
This is a protest song from another, later, era, but its sentiments applied back then too.
I had to look it up.
The top picture is of Longacre Square.
The bottom picture is of Times Square, (renamed in 1904 after “The New York Times / which was there for less than a decade) credited with being “The Crossroads of the World.”

Chutes and Ladders?
First thing that came to my mind, too.
“Find the……….”
No! 😀
this was a page from an adult coloring book
Different idea of “adult” from some other books.

Thanks for the info. You probably nailed it. I suspect that he’s not going the entire rout; perhaps just a few kilometers or so.
That just seems unwise.
Someone is looking to get kicked into last week.

Gotta be….
Must be a publicity shot, since it’s not a scene.

Wasn’t somebody asking where the twins were the other day?
That was me, but this is not them.
I’m wondering where the third one is.
It almost makes me want to cut my hair.
Notice the brush and comb on the porch. I’ll bet taking care of those mops is a lot of work.
With the waves it looks like they used braids to control it all.
Probably also just to make it wave.

Hmm .. hair and gum.
Not my favorite thought combo 😁.
Splash!
“Infinite”?

That’s what I suspected…
And then, there’s this:
When I heard it, I remembered I had heard it before.
It too is hard to listen to.
what a waste of young humanity that whole war was
“Old men sending young men out to die”
“Young men dying for a politician’s lie”

Um… for those who might be wondering… Yes, it’s the same spot.
Longacre Square is the name Times Square was renamed from, not a different place.
find 5 empty bottles
Got them!
Yep.
Yes.
They’re all empty, you have to …{hic}…empty them before sticking in the note.
Good point!
I have my doubts about this, but it is interesting.
Maybe if you loaded up the squirt gun with holy water?
Keith Richards (Rolling Stones) with His Mum Doris in 1945.
Depending on the date, he would be 1 or 2, his mother would be 29 or 30.
I thought those child harnesses were a recent thing.
Just the opposite…
Very common maybe 1900 through the 50s, but especially the last couple of decades of that time.
And growing less and less so, as people have become more apt to accost strangers, and accuse them of child abuse, rightfully or wrongly.
I miss Jim and Maury.
Gone, way too soon.
Oh, the stories that were not yet sung.
