Where could this be?

BTW “Melody Time” came out in 1948, which pretty much dates this photo.

Beautiful clothes on the women…. still a bit of late 30s style, but with the longer skirts and big shoulders of the New Look.

In about a year they’ll be heading into (what I consider dowdy) 1950s territory… think going from Katherine Hepburn to “I Love Lucy” and Mamie Eisenhower.

Thanks

Actually, I was just being facetious, cos we see so many views of Times Square.

Hard to tell in “print”, I know. That’s why I tried italics.

BTW….. to Nighthawks: Don’t worry, though… it’s always interesting.

We had one at the elementary school i went to in Cleveland, until I was about 10. I wouldn’t get on it.
Mostly the bigger boys did.

Imagine a school having one now!

The park (Recreation Ground) near me had a ‘Witches Hat’ and a ‘Rocking Horse’ which could hold about six kids. If you got that thing rocking well enough the kid right at the back had to really hold on tight! Tarmac surface naturally…..

Survival of the fittest, right up into the late 1970’s!

Chuck Conners

was
a major league baseball player, and also played basketball, on a couple of NBA teams …
He had both leading and minor roles in several Hollywood movies, and starred or guest starred on many TV shows..

And yet

he’s mostly only remembered as
as The Rifleman, on television, with Johnny Crawford playing his son

Plenty of them married Americans.

A good friend of mine in San Francisco, though a little older, was a Japanese woman who married an American soldier during the occupation, when she was only 17.

Her wealthy parents disowned her for it… they later came around, partly, when they wanted to meet their four granddaughters.

Funny thing to me… when they lived in Hawaii, where her husband, Al, was stationed, they got divorced. But she met and married another American soldier… named Al.

When I knew her, she was in her late 40s…. her English was still terrible, and she’d forgotten a lot of Japanese. She struggled to read a novel in either language.

She’s the one who taught me about kimono and sushi, and other Japanese culture.

Here is the answer.
I did not get it.

 
If you look closely, you’ll notice that snack number 6 is made up of 3 different products: an olive, a slice of ham, and a slice of cheese. All other snacks contain 2 different products each.

I will say the unique one is

SPOILER?
No. 6. Each muffin has three toppings. All except no. 6 consist of two of one topping, plus one of another. No. 6 consists of one of each of three toppings.

Before I peek,

I’d say…..
They each have an olive or two, and meat or cheese.. two of one item and one of another, except number 6 is the only one with both meat and cheese plus an olive.

Taken in June 1970, posing on the Universal Studios lot where the ‘parting of the Red Sea’ effect takes place on the tram tour.

It is of course:
Charlton Heston
