barbeque

A "jumpin" place on Sat night

If I were younger I'd be tempted to get smashed in there (assuming I'd be allowed in).

wow, great photo! surprising it's in color!

Wow -- one stop shopping. The precursor to Wal-Mart! Notice that's really a gas pump. You crank that long handle to put whatever amount of gas you want in the tank up top, then drain it into your car with the hose.

Yes, there's a glass container or cistern atop which probably had calibrations on it so that you could count the precise volume pumped.

www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/pietown.html?c... Great article with the history of Pie Town inspired by these photographs.

I can't stop looking at this photo. It's so hectic yet so calm. Mesmerizing!

I know that this photo is from the 40's but some of those coats look like something out of today's fashions! Love it!

Notice there are like NO fat people in these photos?? Unlike today in America.... -- Seen in your 1930s-40s in Color set. (?)

I agree with cooleye foto. This was before the chemical companies got hold of our food and started injecting everything with growth hormones and other chemicals. Also these people actually worked, they didn't join a gym and then never show up.

The Aussie barbecue is a timeless ritual that is ingrained in our culture. Cooking over a sizzling hot grill in the great outdoors has become part of our national identity and has been used in film, television, music and advertising as a backdrop for events great and small. Barbecuing is a tradition that bridges cultural differences and brings people together. It is a vehicle for family bonding, community spirit and often for comic relief.
