Las Vegas 1993 ~ The New Siegfried & Roy Monument to the "Masters of the Impossible"
The Siegfried & Roy Monument is situated on the strip, between the Mirage Hotel and Casino and Treasure Island. The statues of the duo, alongside one of their beloved white tigers, were new in this footage, having been unveiled and dedicated by Steve Wynn 1 month earlier on October 15th, 1993.
Note that the magician’s statues are a stone color, with the tiger a marble white. Today, they have been painted bronze to make them look like metal, I guess that was easier than keeping them clean. Vegas is always evolving, making the garish great!
Designed by Atlandia Design, this is now a landmark attraction protected by giant crystals behind a low fence. The cracks seen today are a result of pla...

Bermuda 1960's Non Mariners Race Finish Line ~ Foot of the Lane Mangroves & Saturday Evening Post

Held on the Sunday after Cup Match, the Non-Mariners Race is an annual non-event where winning is to lose in the most spectacular fashion possible. Homemade, non-boat vessels are constructed and most certainly not raced - often making light of the politics of the day. Entrants are judged on the theme and appeal of the craft, and although keeping afloat the longest is the goal, even the craft th...

    I miss the true times of the Aviation Age....to travel by plane was an event... the airport... you knew you were there with various Boeing and MD jets and props...they were loud, they smoked and they were beautiful. Now, it's two engine under the wing...boring to watch for they all look like 737's ...they aren't loud thanks to the Karens - they make more noise than the jets...and security TSA.... makes me want to drive now. So, thanks for the memories... I was little but I remember...had the airport play sets.😁

    This just showed up in my sidebar. I am so happy to see this. In the mid Sixties, my brother and I were teenagers, living off base with my family (AirForce father) in St. David's, on Chapel of Ease Road, right across from Smith's Island. We had a straightaway view of St. George's Island and had great views of the harbor. Tall masted ships, yachts and submarines are great memories of those views. It didn't take us long to go native; learning Portuguese slang and copping a peculiar form of an English accent that was hard to kick when we got back to the States. Everything in the video is so familiar to me from our frequent romps around the Islands.
