Another cool movie fact. When the movie Pearl Harbor was filmed Big Mo (USS Missouri) was used as a set for the USS Arizona. However, in order to film down along "Broadway" (the below waterline corridor that stretched from one end of the ship to the other and through which munitions were transported by a ceiling mounted rail) the producers ended up paying millions of dollars to have asbestos removed. As a result, today one can tour that corridor.

Here is another of my photos. This one taken on a special tour of Big Mo at the location on "Broadway" where the scene in the movie Pearl Harbor was filmed. In the movie the corridor begins rocking as bombs hit USS Arizona.
And here is a screenshot from the film "Pearl Harbor" at the subject location on Big Mo's Broadway. (Note the artifact of a hand held light on the far left of the frame. The corridor is so narrow it was difficult for the film crew to place lighting for the shot.)
And some years later, this same location was again used as a set for another film featuring a battleship. This time it was in a Godzilla film.

We had one in our town until the Interstate 181 came thru the very early
70's. Good burgers and fries. For three bucks the family at lunch. Lost the
others in the Tri-Cities by 1975. Always thought they were better than McDonalds.
No photo to add, but seeing these 15 cent burger places reminded of a Dee's Burgers which was the original fast food burger chain in Utah before McDonalds. I recall when traveling through Salt Lake City seeing the similar 15 or 29 cent signs there in the 60s and still recall how great they tasted wrapped in a waxed paper.

An added view from the observation platform fronting the Mishima Skybridge incorporating the bridge and Mount Fuji:
And an added photo from the same spot incorporating cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji:
Nostalgic. Thanks.
Peered down that pathway as a child and again as a college student years later. Also descended down into the caverns on both occasions.

Soooo, you found a screwdriver?
I put the screwdriver in the mound to give another indication of how big it was😊

This past week's walk across Japan's longest pedestrian suspension bridge reminded of a prior photo book:
I was there in 1972 and I don't remember this.

Lost our milkman early 70's. Milk was always better from a glass bottle.
Not very fond of the waxed cardboard or plastic jug.
Not to mention the pull off cardboard caps. Anyone collect those?
I've got a bunch of the baseball and football ones.

Is this a similar species as the one from the previous page?

Somehow fast food burgers wrapped in paper always tasted better than those in cardboard or styrofoam boxes.
