Castine, Maine, in 1965, on Wadsworth Cove Road. Mom with my sister in the baby carriage and my grandparents. Grampa's probably looking at a sailboat out in the ocean. View full size.
We stayed in Castine summer 2014 at Castine Cottages and explored the area, Bar Harbor, Acadia and so on. We absolutely loved it here. Great Kodachrome by the way and I know pretty much where this image was taken.
...if a bag of chips still only set you back 59 cents? Oh well, at least that Pepsi carton makes up for it! I wish Pepsi would go back to that look.
I believe the woman is my Aunt Carlista. I may submit another old photo of her that predates this one for Shorpy's consideration.
I do not remember Pepsi featuring such a color scheme, only the traditional red, white and blue. Google did not reveal a 6 pack like the one depicted, but I found one in the same general style.
Who is the mystery woman in the red sweatshirt, hidden behind Grandma? Also, from left to right, a '65 Ford Fairlane 4-door sedan, a '63 Fairlane 500 wagon (wearing one of those aftermarket full-width mud flaps), and a '65 Plymouth Belvedere wagon.
Actually the ocean is straight in front of my Grandfather so It looks like he's looking down the beach. My Mom appears to be looking at the same thing.
On the log, to the left of the mustard and ketchup and jar of pickles, and right beside the package of wieners, is the handful of sticks sharpened for the hot dog lunch on the outdoor fire.
What do you think the six-armed roasting stick on the log would have put on it? Hot dogs or marshmallows or both?
Poor dog stuck in the station wagon and all those things to sniff.
