A Classic Seeburg Jukebox Adds Nostalgia To Rec Rooms

| Comments (3)

Not long ago I posted an article about my Uncle Bob's neon-lit glass block wall in his 50s-60s era retro room.

That was only the beginning of all of the cool retro toys he and his wife have in this time machine of theirs. Probably the most impressive item (to me) that they've got in this room is the 1955 Seeburg Model 100 J jukebox that they've painstakingly, although lovingly, restored back to its' original glorious condition.

Seeburg's have been a big part of pop culture by fostering musical interests of millions of fans the world over.

 

Christmas At The Historic Tate House

I've been waiting for months for the opportunity to re-visit the historic Tate House, a.k.a. The Pink Palace, in Tate, Georgia. After I received an invitation back in May for a private tour from owner Marsha Mann, all of the stars were finally aligned in my favor, as it were, and I was able to make the one hour trip to The Tate House with my trusty little camera in hand (after a lengthy stay in the shop). : (

I purposely waited a few weeks after getting my camera out of the shop to make the journey to the Pink Palace again because I thought a visit while it was decorated for the Christmas season would be especially memorable...and I was right.

Without further ado...I invite you to Christmas at The Pink Palace!

| Comments (2)

pink_feather_Christmas_tree.JPGThe Marietta Pilgrimage Christmas Home Tour is an annual event showcasing historical private homes and buildings decorated for the Christmas holiday season...inside and out. The homes and buildings vary from year-to-year (this is the 21st year of the tour) so the Pilgrimage is one of the highlights of the season for many. This year the six private homes on the tour were concentrated in the Northwest Marietta Historic District and ten historical buildings were featured, as well.

As you may have guessed, I've got a few photos and details to share of the 2007 Marietta Pilgrimage.
