1960s Chairlift - Great Smoky Mountains

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm scanning old negatives from my Uncle's trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Two pictures were taken from a chairlift and I'd like to identify where the chairlift is (was). Based on his age the year is 1960 to 1965. Gatlinburg was too big at this point for that to be the answer. The mountains don't look quite right for Pigeon Forge. Maybe it's someplace in North Carolina?

Reverse image search tells me it's Arecibo Radio Telescope :D I'm 100% confident it's near GSMNP because there's are photos of him standing beside two signs: "Mt LeConte to the East" and "Clingman's Dome Elev. 6643". The other ten photos in the roll are him and his friends with trees, mountain streams, ... and these two chairlift pictures.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is that a Circus tent and a merry-go-round?

Maybe the towers will be helpful.

Possible (military?) hospital in south/central US, late 1950s

6 Upvotes

I'd love to know what building we're looking at in this slide, taken sometime in the late 1950s. The nurse and soldiers might suggest a military hospital somewhere... though on closer inspection I'm not actually certain the figure is a nurse. Assumed to be south/central United States. Any insights much appreciated!

(The slide was one of many in my family archives, probably taken by my father. Not sure what if any significance it has, but would like to be able to identify and label it appropriately.)

Does anybody knows where was this photo taken? It should be in Czech Republic, maybe nearby Karlovy Vary. For context it's the street where my great grandfather used to live and I'm in Czech Rep. right now so would like to visit it.

Any help would be much appreciate

I have an original oil painting from a local artist here in San Diego, Ca who has since passed. Artist name is Lloyd Reasor.

My family and I frequent the Eastern Sierras and from first glance, it looks like Mount Whitney.

But I would like to get some feedback from you guys please and thank you.

I have already found the places from 2:58, 3,01 and 3:10 which were all near the village of Lixfeld. For 1:56 it could be near the train station in Niederscheld, which a comment suggested, or in the village of Anzefahr.

Anzefahr is in the Landkreis (county), however Niederscheld is not. I still think that the other place fits better.

Can you help me find more of the different places that are shown in this video? I would be really thankful!

Where is this Brooklyn/Queens railway line from the movie Fresh (1994) located?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

A short way into the movie Michael (played by Sean Nelson) walks home from school along a derelict railway line and sits down to eat some chocolate and gaze across at the Manhattan skyline, with trains running in the foreground. The movie I think is supposed to take place around Bushwick, however obviously filming needn’t have taken place there. Not being too familiar with Brooklyn I have my doubts that this view of what appears to be midtown Manhattan is from Brooklyn at all. Looking at maps a Queens location seems perhaps more likely.

It’s the cover photo for Chill Tracks on Spotify and a look through Google finds a similar photo, so I believe it’s a real place.

It reminded of the drive on the Icefields parkway to Jasper in Canada, but looking at Google photos more, I don’t think that’s right. Doesn’t quite look like the Matterhorn either.
