Today’s Top 5

Blackout headlights

Note the black paint on the 1933 Chevrolet truck headlights. A WWII requirement.

Interesting Swan

I find it interesting that the swan is wearing lederhosen (A German folk costume) during the middle of a war with Germany.

The man in the middle

"Excuse me while I take this call."

A wise man once said

To let sleeping dogs lie.

West Side Store

Looks like West 133rd Street at Seventh Avenue.
