In 1795, 21 Harvard students gathered in a dorm room and formed a secret social club to cultivate "friendship and patriotism." Members agreed to take turns providing a pot of hasty pudding for the meetings. Thus did the Hasty Pudding Club, the nation's oldest dramatic institution, get its name.
In the early years, the club staged mock trials. In 1844 it produced the first of its trademark shows where men played both the male and female parts.
Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Alastair Cooke, Jack Lemmon, and George Plimpton all performed in drag on the stage of the Pudding's historic playhouse in Harvard Square. Women are now involved in every aspect of the shows except one: men continue to play all onstage roles.
View from our plane's window as we sat on the Sea-Tac tarmac waiting for Air Force One to depart last year as both ours and the President's plane were held up for several hours due to a bomb threat.
And here is a photo I took of the same plane in flight on a prior occasion.

Oh? Yes, I did check for any coins!
A couple of years ago my wife and stopped at a rest stop in Indiana along
I-65. Inside the welcome center there was a pay phone, not sure if it was
functioning, and people were posing with it and taking "selfies".

That’s cool.
Thanks. I've been looking for these pictures for years and some others too. i came upon these 2 today. The 1st picture was taken above the main tourist area and I just walked up on this family and really liked the photo op. I actually ate at the McDonald and the food wad rather different form a US Restaurant.

Just located the photos I had taken of the same location there in DesPlaines in Chicagoland:
Comparing the black and white photo to the color photos one can see that the current gated site has had the "B" in Billion removed and restored to the original "M" in Million.
For those who have not been to the location it merits explaining that there are today two buildings in close proximity. The original one has more or less been made into a museum and thus gated off. It was alive and well though in the black and white photo when the sign references Billions having been sold. The second building (from where I had acquired the pictured wrapped hamburger) is an operating McDonalds.
