I need some new culture in my life. I was thinking about checking out <a href="http://www.to-tuscany.com/" rel="nofollow">some villas in Tuscany Italy</a> to rent for a few weeks. I have been researching others experiences, that is how I came across your post. Wow, I love the then and now picture. Its amazing how much things change over the years. Thanks for sharing.

The slightly-more-manual equivalent of a dumbwaiter. A little like the pulley system still at least partially attached (when I moved in, anyway) to the exterior brick walls in back at Vera's place, on Ohio Street. For a different purpose, of course! Or the fairly primitive intercom on the wall when I took that architecture tour of the Palmer Park apartments. Love discovering these old things, that worked.Harmnoreply@blogger.com
