Surf City

[lindyannajones]

Many of you made a connection with music the Surfer Era from my previous post. I thought I'd add a coke and some fries to go with those memories. And the song that come to mind for you is....?

Bonus Quiz:

(1) What are Huarachues?
(2) Cowabunga said originally by....?
(3) Sandra Dee or Sally Field?

great shots! especially the guys with the surfboards. It looks perfectly vintage with the treatment you gave it too!

[fstopMike]

Ahhhh Lindy! Great nostalgia. Remember when you could look on the bottom of the GLASS coke bottles to find the one with the city farthest away? How many times did I play that game while drinking a 6 oz coke that cost a nickel!

[GothamCity]

great shots! I love the coke and the beach one especially. I've been on a huge beachy, surfer music kick as of lately and longing for the beach, this picture isn't helping

[teedlepeep]

I love the look and feel to that !! I haven't seen a tabletop jukebox in a long time !!! What great shots !!

Bonus Quiz ..

#1 ... No Clue

#2 ... haha I can vividly recall this from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, however they
were sewer dwellers and not surfers ... so it is something like Big Daddy
Kahuna in an Annette and Frankie move

#3 ... Sally Field ... loved her as the Flying Nun bugging Carlos but I bet your
reference is to her Gidget

ewwwww I so didn't do good on your quiz but it made me laugh on a day where every flipping thing is going wrong and peeving me off so it's GOOD lol

What a great set. Let's all go back in time and I still keep singing the surfing song. You have done an excellet job getting these captures to look like the 50's / 60's Ah the memories.
Teedlepeep didn't get #1 So Mexican sandals or a popular Mexican dish but I think you refer to the sandals. Thank you for this lovely presentation Lindy.

Great pictures as always Lindy but a quiz I like quizes

Huarachues, never worn them, I was a cut off jeans and clogs person, but jakester is wrong to say they were sandeels, they were definately shoes jake, sandeels are squigly little eel like fish. Any way can't stop, off the opticians

When I saw these guys coming with their surf boards, I had just a sec or two to get a shot. I felt pretty fortunate. I'm glad you like them!

"Wouldn't it be nice if we were we younger?" I know. A little play on words. Coke magic was fun, wasn't it? I'm enjoying listening to the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. Pretty simple chords, lyrics and had "a good beat and you can dance to it". Do you remember that line? American Bandstand. Every week DClark had kids review a new tune. This was the typical reply. BTW Here's that San Diego tree I was telling you about.

Have you heard Disney Girls by Art Garfunkel? It's so...Golly, gosh, gee. And I have have some bad news. I don't think there's a cure for a "beachy, surfer music kick". Might as well have another coke.

Every flippin thing? Yikes. Glad to offer surfer aide. According to Wikipedia, "cowabunga" was first said by Chief on Howdy Doody and later taken up by surfers. It's such a useful word in certain instances. Huaraches: see below. Gidget. Yes. But honestly, a Flying Nun? Who on earth sold THAT premise?

And the winner is Jake! Did you wear Huaraches? Do you remember that the soles were made of recycled tires? "And we'll have fun, fun, fun...."

Beach. Where's your reverence for Huararches? These were serious sandals.

You guys must not tempt the surfer gods lest you have a wipe out!

The fries and jukebox photos were taken at Johnny Rockets. It's a national chain of hamburger joints. They were very kind to allow me to take photos. The coke was from a previous nostalgic still life. I'm glad you think it succeeds as a vintage piece. Thanks, Susan.
