This is is a postcard of Ste-Agathe-des-Monts which was mailed in the early 1960s, though the image might actually be from the late 1950s.  Ste-Agathe is located in the Laurentians, and is part of the modern administrative region called Les Laurentides. The Laurentians are best known to outsiders as a great skiing region.

I bought this postcard because the SHELL sign is one that I used to see in my childhood.

Here’s a message that PostcardKris  of Postcard Images: 100 years of life, love and mystery left in the comment box below. I guess we know where to get our cars dated now!.

“Close as I can tell, the first parked car facing the camera is a 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner. I can tell by the very distinctive small parking lights under the headlights. The dark car on the right pointing away from the camera is late 40’s. All the cars look like late 40’s, early to mid 50’s. My best guess is the photo for this postcard was taken in the mid-fifties.”

sexy DESTINATION – LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

!!!

Neon Lights, Debauchery, Money and Gluttony – Las Vegas is a sinful adult Disneyland.

In the initial year of The Las Vegas Strip, “no” was a big word – no cover, no minimum, no state speed limit, no sales tax, no waiting period for marriages, no state income tax and no regulation on gambling as it’s known today. In modern times about the only “no’s” remaining are no state income tax and no waiting period to obtain a wedding license.

sexy LOUNGE – THE HOUSE of BLUES FOUNDATION ROOM “MANDALAY BAY”

(inside the Mandalay Bay)

The House of Blues Foundation Room at the Mandalay Bay is one of the most exclusive clubs in Vegas. It is usually a members only venue but it’s open on Monday to everyone. Guests staying at the Mandalay Bay and The Hotel are also welcome guests.

The Foundation Room has an exotic mysterious ambience. A private elevator takes you up 43 floors to the top of the hotel. A Buddah awaits and the sweet aroma of incense beckons one into a seductive caven. A patchwork of beautiful Persian rugs leads one into a variety of darkened, private rooms, screening rooms and several bars that have been adorned by artifacts from India and Tibet.

A Chocolate Martini is a heavenly after dinner cocktail to enjoy while in front of the fireplace in this relaxing and easily conversable atmosphere.

Don’t miss a chance to enjoy the warm desert breeze on the terrace overlooking one of the best views of “The Strip” in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas has several new European style sunbathing (topless) that have become popular. The pools are:

1) Moorea at the Mandalay Bay Hotel

4) Bare at the Mirage Hotel

This sign is affixed to the building on N. Mississippi Avenue in Portland, Oregon, that houses Fresh Pot, the coffee shop featured in the Morgan Freeman/Greg Kinnear movie, Feast of Love. We rented it recently because, you know, we’d walked by during filming, which was some time ago, and then forgotten all about it, until recently. We didn’t see either Morgan Freeman or Greg Kinnear on that long ago walk and in fact didn’t know either one of them were in the movie until we stopped and asked the night security guard, who was out protecting the film “stuff”, what the film was called and who was starring in it. I guess we’re not as hip as we might lead ourselves to believe. Ok, confession time… we don’t think we’re hip at all actually. It’s a myth. Misnomer. Complete fable. No hipness here folks… please step back. Seriously though… if you want a good cup o’ joe in a cool non-chain type of joint, Fresh Cup is for you.
