Was your "Old Gray Subs..." caption a throwback to the now extinct America Sings or was that just a coincidence?

Just about any camera shop will convert slides. However it's really expensive. Especially when you consider how many slides most people have.

Getting a scanner with a slide attachment, and doing it yourself is probably a better option. My parents have an HP scanner with a slide attachment. Basically just a card that holds 4 slides, with a little light that goes on top. I scanned a whole pile of my mother's slides last year for Christmas. Took quite awhile to do them, but that's also because I scanned hundreds of them. :lolr:

Very cool pictures! I really never get tired of seeing "old" stuff, and you had some pictures with different perspectives than I'm used to. Thanks!

Thanks again for all the compliments. I let my mom know how much you all have enjoyed the pictures. I went through the album again and found a few more. Unfortunately, there were none of the burning cabin or Inner Space.

Somewhere, I have pictures of Disneyland during its "State Fair" promotion from the mid-'80s. Imagine seeing a Ferris wheel set up in the Hub and one in front of the Main Street train station!

I just love all this nostalgia that's coming out of these forums as of late! These threads are amazing! I'm going to have to try and find my old stuff now.

Thanks for sharing!
I'll have a Skyy-sour with a lime and cherry, shaken, please... :)
