Today’s Top 5

Dream Loft

I can see HGTV going crazy with this space in today's world, turning it into a "living space" for trendy yuppies. There would be stainless steel appliances and granite everywhere!

Weighty

That isn't a trapdoor. It's a scale used for weighing the cart loads.

Crate & Barrel

An interesting photo from the B.C. era (Before Cardboard) of packaging. Wooden barrels and crates, and excelsior instead of bubble wrap or styro peanuts. When I was a tot in the 1950s, I loved it when a new family would move into the neighborhood because that meant there would lots of excelsior-stuffed barrels out by the curb, back when they were used for packing dishes and glassware. With two or three you could make a nifty barrel-fort.

Going Down

There was a worker pulling that wagon until he stepped on that trapdoor. Poor guy!

Apparently amongst the first

in the fight for smoke-free workplaces!
