Vintage Catskills: Kingston NY
I have a lot of fond memories of Kingston. One of the last surviving american Woolworth's stores, having experienced the 1980's video arcade phenomena at the Hudson Valley Mall when it was decked out in brown tiles & orange this & that, Seeing King Kong Lives (1986) at a forgotten theater near *Caldors, finding a huge pile of animal bones in the woods behind the Ulster County ASPCA, Going to Subway so often that I would get red carpet treatment, the trash cans with the bird design on both sides so it would look like you where feeding your trash to a bird, at the Kings Mall, getting shocked from the combination of an arcade game joystick and the puddle of water I'd be standing in while eating a Moon Pie near the Holiday Inn-indoor pool during the winter. The lifeguard would always keep a close eye on me for I was quite the little hellraiser/stargazer. He was a prick. he was from Germany. I'm half Jew. Oh well! Most importantly Alice in Video Land had 5 movies, 5 nights, 5 bucks. They had an amazingly vast collection of strange movies (The Sinful Dwarf, Hawk Jones, Invasion Of The Saucer Men, The Jan & Dean Story, Bog) that would turn me into the happy man I am today. You better believe I stocked up during their closeout sale. I could go on all night.

And just for fun?!

Harold von Braunhut: Defender of The Aryan Race/Inventor of Sea Monkeys
Inventor of beloved classics such as X-Ray Specs and Amazing Sea-Monkeys, Harold von Braunhut was neo-fascist. There is not much I can tell you that isn't already on his Wikipedia page. (I don't know why that sentence is so small. I can't figure out how to fix it. I'm new at this.)
"Braunhut also raced motorcycles under the name "The Green Hornet", and managed a showman whose act consisted of diving 40 feet (12 m) into a children's wading pool filled with only 1 foot (0.30 m) of water."
-Wikipedia
He does look ready for his entrance to hell doesn't he!
"The Washington Post stated in a report that, despite his Jewish ethnicity, he had a close association with white supremacist groups, buying firearms for a Ku Klux Klan faction and regularly attending the Aryan Nations annual conference.[2] In a 1988 interview with the Seattle Times, he referred to the "inscrutable, slanty Korean eyes" of Korean shop owners and was quoted as saying, "You know what side I'm on. I don't make any bones about it.""

Russell Does Roe
Right before Walt Disney passed away, he wrote then 15 year old Disney star Kurt Russell's name on a piece of paper. No one really knows why. Disney's dying words... "Kurt Russell"! Let that one soak into your brain a while... Or don't! It probably won't make a difference either way. Enjoy!
Plato's Retreat
For those of you unfamiliar with Plato's Retreat, it was New York City's hottest swing (sex) club. Including a swimming pool covered with a strange film & a buffet table that was often surrounded by naked middle aged Long Island couples. Once managed by Last House On The Lefts own Fred J. Lincoln. See the documentary American Swing on Netflix Instant! And yes I do own a Plato's Retreat T-shirt.

Risque swimming scene from Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
"For an infamous swimming scene in this pre-code film, alternate footage was shot of Jane in various stages of dress, ranging from totally nude to fully covered. According to film historian Rudy Behlmer: "From all evidence, three versions of the sequence eventually went out to separate territories during the film's initial release. One with Jane clothed in her jungle loin cloth outfit, one with her topless, and one with her in the nude."[1] Maureen O'Sullivan did not play the naked Jane in the alternate footage; she was doubled by Olympic swimmer Josephine McKim, who competed in the 1928 games with Johnny Weissmuller. A version with alternate footage with Jane swimming nude or topless was restored in 1986 by Turner Entertainment for its video release." -Wikipedia
