Another of those tacky motels that appeared across America. This one is in Gila Bend, Arizona (pronounced Hee-La) This motel is southwest of Phoenix on the way to Mexico and took its que from the popularity of the space craze in the early sixties. The hotel was shut down for many years and recently renovated and is even tackier. I wasn't aware that it had been renovated until I went looking for pics of it in the 60's. I drove by this area a few years ago and it was abandoned.

Starring the voices of Jane Seymour & James Naughton, this new children's film is set after World War II. It's a warm and touching magical story that tells of two unforgettable and unlikely friends; an abandoned and discarded Christmas bulb, and the eight year old boy who rescues him. Broken and useless, Little Light feels hopeless and young Timothy empathizes with his plight. He believes that Little Light can "shine" again. When a fierce winter storm causes a blackout, Little Light triumphs over all odds, his self doubt, and "shines," lighting the way for others to "see the light." This animated treasure shares the miracle of believing and the power of the human heart. This is the kind of story that is both for children and adults.

i love the way Ann Sheridan was "introduced" to Hollywood . . . .she had been a college student when her sister sent a photograph of her to Paramount Pictures. She subsequently entered and won a beauty contest, with part of her prize being a bit part in a Paramount film. She abandoned college to pursue a career in Hollywood...

On June 4, 1974 the Cleveland Indians held the most short-sighted promotion in pro sports history: Ten-Cent Beer Night. There was no limit to the amount of 10-ounce beers one could buy for a dime each. Hey, what could possibly go wrong? A crowd of about 25,000 people chugged down more than 60,000 cups of beer. The effects of the discount brews caused rowdyism to break out in the stands and spread onto the field. The game was abandoned by the umpires in the ninth inning with the score tied 5-5. The visiting Texas Rangers won by forfeit.

At the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, the Soviet Union faced Hungary in a memorable water polo match. Earlier that year Soviet tanks had rolled into Budapest to brutally suppress a popular anti-communist uprising. The bitter Hungarians decided to take out their anti-Soviet sentiments in the pool. The abbreviated match featured headbutts, punching, gouging and general mayhem which left several players bloodied. (When the blood started seeping into the water, it looked like some players were bleeding to death!) To avoid further carnage, the Soviets abandoned the match and the Hungarians won by forfeit.
