@ttyymmnn When “Open Daily” meant M-F.

A friend years ago referred to these as "the loaf"(loaf of bread).
We still refer to them as loaf vans today.

@drvantraveler

Imagine what that van, in that condition, would be worth today.

I've followed that trend. Big piles of FU money now

So many windows so little Windex.

@ttyymmnn There's a LOT of '60s to see in that image!

That's why I like it so much.

@ttyymmnn it’s either beer or meat.

[benn454]

@ttyymmnn Looks like it could use some running boards. Or just toss em in like sacks of potatoes.

[ttyymmnn]

@highlander

The beer has 2 ms.

[Highlander]

@ttyymmnn it also tastes like the picture. Warm Midwest water infused with skunk.

@ttyymmnn I tried to find more pixels to zoom in on, but I can't seem to find the original. The largest versions my search came up with were cropped in different ways. One shows a little more of the storefront, another shows more of the roof.

[ttyymmnn]

@urambo-tauro

Never occurred to me to try that. The one I posted does seem to have a rather severe crop.

@drvantraveler Tying into the Happy Hour thread:

[john norris]

Some things in my lifetime have evolved quite a bit. Others not so much.

In case you're wondering, gee, that shopping cart doesn't look too different than ones they use today; I wonder how much I can buy one for?

Funny you should mention that, because I had exactly the same thought: Grocery carts have remained unchanged for 60 years.

@ttyymmnn They have more plastic in them now, also thinner/lighter metal. And electronic sensors that lock the wheels if you try to take them off the supermarket's property. But for the most part, the same, but a bit more cheaply made
