I believe Macy's in New York city still has their wooden escalator. I know it was still operational when I was in NYC in 2009.

He got canceled.

We LOVED Mr. Magoo cartoons in the 1950s. In those days a cartoon was always shown before the feature film. We always hoped it would be a Mr. Magoo cartoon, although I was also a fan of The Road Runner.

I never realized until years later that it was Jim Bakus, who voiced Magoo, who also was a key actor in 1955's Rebel Without a Cause.

Road maps. Always one or two in the glove compartment. Now, a gadget
on my screen tells me exactly how to get there.
Map below is similar to the one I used to get home from CA to Ny…1958. Route 66.

I still use maps, even though I don't see real well. I'd never trust those map programs in the car or anywhere else.

Rte. 66 was a lot of fun. I traveled coast to coast a few times.
