A view toward center field in Connie Mack Stadium, Philadelphia as the grounds crew wets down the infield prior to a baseball game between the hometown Phillies and visiting St. Louis Cardinals in 1959.
Like Forbes Field, Connie Mack Stadium opened in 1909 and was demolished after the 1970 season. It was replaced by Veterans Stadium, one of several stadiums of similar style utilizing artificial turf. When several Phillies players succumbed to brain cancer, questions arose about their long-term exposure to the stadium’s synthetic surface. More here.

The Metropole Cafe at Seventh Avenue and 48th Street, as seen in this August 8, 1962 photo. A jazz club in the 1950s & 1960s, it later offered other forms of entertainment. Photo from the deleted flickr account of actionlog.
Covey’s Little America travel stop in Green River, Wyoming in the 1950s. It’s still around (we stopped there a few years ago) and it’s kept up with the times, now resembling most contemporary auto/truck travel stops (Love’s, Flying J, etc). The penguin on the sign is a reference to Admiral Richard Byrd’s earlier “Little America” base in the Antarctic, the premise being that the travel stop was an equally precious refuge in otherwise forbidding territory.
