Pre-WWII Philips Electronics Ad – Harlingen – Friesland, Netherlands
This treasure was spotted while my mom and I were travelling through Friesland, Holland’s northern province. The language spoken there is totally different than Dutch.
I love the toaster in the upper left. This fresco is truly a work of art created by the original artist, and time.
This ad is quite possibly pre-World War II. – Fading Ad Campaign
Harlingen was given its city rights in 1234.

77 WABC – Harlem, NYC – taken August 1999
Ron Lundy, Harry Harrison Cousin Brucie- these were the most influential voices of my childhood. These men were the DJ’s of my era.
My fondest memories were those sunny days when mom said, “Pack up a pail and shovel, we’re goin’ to the beach. And don’t forget the transistor radio!”
The Sounds of Motown filled the salty air of the Rockaways. And the Beatles, Beach Boys, and all of those fabulous hits we now call classic oldies flew over the radio waves and floated above the surf. I can still hear the roar of the rollercoaster of Rockaway Playland.
Maybe I’m just getting old but they don’t make ’em like that anymore. – Fading Ad Campaign 1999
