If there's one thing that fellow blogger BARTHOLOMEW WOODS and I seem to share, it's a long lasting reverence for all things of a previous age; more commonly referred to as THE PAST. In particular, we share a fondness for our old childhood neighborhood - d'place where we dun both growed up so many decades ago.
Yes, this topic of the good old gang in the good old 'hood' in the good old days has already been dragged thru the mud in a previous blog entry, but it seems that a super 8 film from this same period under discussion has recently been found (next to the water heater; who'da thunk) that might help shed a bit more light on the subject. The footage contained in this clip (below) will show some of the rarely seen members of our exclusive Blazer fraternity including fringe wannabes like Laine, Iris, Leigh and Carolyn. However, the star of the show is still the street itself - the fences, antennas and houses that make up what will always be known to us as our home turf.

That's more like it!
I did learn something from the B&W photo of your sister. I never knew there was a huge fence between your house and the neighbours.
Most enjoyable!
Almost forgot. That guy with the 'Bert' hand-puppet is a hoot!
So much joy. Where has it gone?
Never mind the huge fence... get a load of the power poles lining the road in that same photo. This would've been back in the days before street lights/curbs/boulevard trees. We're talking ancient history, man. You wuz lucky if you had a radio to listen to in them days.
