John Martini Sends Regards and Photo Below
This photo was 82 or 83 at Lucky Street Gallery 322 Margaret Street. We were there for 2 years before we moved to 919 Duval. At the time there was no traffic to be had and the conch train refused to mention us as they passed unless we paid them. The artist Robert Gaston drove this piece down and we put it out front every day. The Conch Train could not avoid mentioning it. We moved the gallery during a golden time on Duval St when local mom and pop business filled the street. We were forced off Duval when the cruise ships became dominant around 95. It’s time to rebuild Duval into a sustainable destnation for locals and long stay visitors.
We Now Start Part 1 of Probably 8 Weeks of showing an AMAZING 120+ Collection of Classic Cars Owned by Jay Leno "Jay Leno's Garage". He also had a CNBC TV Show Featuring his 120 Classic Cars WWW.LENOSGARAGE.COM
1. 1937 Bugatti Type 57 SC
Model Year: 1937, Original Value: $43,000*, Current Value: $40 million-$114 million*
Jay Leno is one of the few people in the world who owns an exact copy of the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic. His replica was made by a German car enthusiast who specializes in making identical copies of antique, rare cars. The 1937 Bugatti Type 57 SC’s Competition variation was called “Aerolithe,” which is based on the Greek word for “meteor.” The 1937 Bugatti Type 57 SC was the first model year for the Type 57 SC, which would go on to have just 96 produced. Under the hood was a 3.257-liter DOHC Inline 8 engine. The designer was Jean Bugatti himself.
2. 1994 McLaren F1
Model Year: 1996, Original Value: $12 million*, Current Value: $23 million*
Back in 2017, Leno was asked which of his collection was his favorite, and he said that his 1994 McLaren F1 was the crown jewel of his collection. This car was valued at $12 million when he bought it, and the price has nearly doubled, with one ’94 McLaren selling for $23 million at auction. Leno stated in an interview with Wired that people are surprised that the futuristic-looking McLaren was actually a nineties-era car. He stated simply that, “When a car looks right, it[‘s] right.” The ’94 F1 was the first McLaren to be deemed street-legal in the U.S. 

3. 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coupe (Above in the Lead Photos
Model Year: 1955, Original Value: $2,200*, Current Value: $2.35 million*
In 2015, Leno purchased this 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coupe for his garage. He was intent on restoring the coupe, and he was thrilled to be able to purchase it after it was, according to him, “out of reach” for so long. The Gullwing was always ahead of its time, and it makes sense why Leno would covet it so highly. When it came out in the fifties, it had many never-before-seen features to it, including fully independent suspension, tubular space frame, and, of course, those very unique doors. Leno’s currently-under-construction Gullwing will likely keep its famous red paint job.
4. 1937 Fiat Topolino
Model Year: 1937, Original Value: $763.07*, Current Value: $44,000*
 
This is perhaps one of the oldest cars in Jay Leno’s collection. The 1937 Fiat Topolino is on display in his garage, and he actually had plans to auction it off in 2012. This isn’t his only early Fiat; he also owns a ’59 Millecento and a 1917 Fiat Botafogo. The Topolino is, like many Fiats, very tiny.  It has a 569cc I4 engine under the hood and the curb weight is 1,213 pounds. 520,000 of these cars were made from 1936 to 1955, making this one of the earliest editions of the Topolino still in existence to this day.
 
5. 2017 Ford GT
Model Year: 2017, Original Value: $505,570*, Current Value: $1.2 million*
 
Jay Leno was one of the first Ford customers to take delivery of his super-cool, fast Ford GT. The 2017 Ford GT was one of 45 ever built, and the price increased to $1.2 million as time went on (though Leno got it for a little over half a million). This Ford GT is worth so much because it is a powerhouse. The sportscar gets 647HP and weighs in at 3,705. Under the hood is a 5-liter V8 engine. The specs on the 2017 GT are amazing. The GT has a top speed of 216MPH and a 0 to 60 time of 2.9 seconds.
6. 427 Shelby Cobra
Model Year: 1966, Original Value: $7,495*, Current Value: $5.5 million*
 
When it comes to classic cars, Leno has admitted that he has a particular fondness for his 427 Shelby Cobra. This 1966 Ford classic was the subject of a contest between Leno and Elon Musk, the head of Tesla Motors. Leno challenged Musk’s Tesla S P85D to a race with his elderly Cobra. The Tesla has a 0 to 60 time of 2.6 seconds, while the Cobra has a 0 to 60 time of 4.5 seconds (still impressive for that era). Leno was obviously kidding, though it would have been an interesting race. The dark-blue Cobra debuted in 2012 at Pebble Beach before Leno bought it.

WWW.KEYSUNITEDWAY.ORG 305-735-1929 Greetings from Rebecca Zehr
MONROE COUNTY – United Way of Collier and the Keys is launching a virtual Remote Crisis Case Management System to help residents of Collier and Monroe Counties cope with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Working with the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, UWCK is excited to announce KeysHelp.org, an innovative way to assist neighbors in need.
Since March, the number of residents seeking assistance with critical needs more than doubled. Calls for help have grown dramatically, as the ALICE (Asset-Limited, Income Constrained and Employed) families that United Way of Collier and the Keys serves have been heavily impacted by the pandemic’s economic toll.
“These households live paycheck-to-paycheck, with very little or no savings to help them deal with unexpected expenses or loss of income like those incurred during COVID-19,” said Leah Stockton, UWCK Keys Area President. “Requests for assistance are at an all-time high, including in the wake of Hurricane Irma. We are also seeing many callers who have never needed to seek assistance before.”
United Way of Collier and the Keys has developed a web application to safely connect individuals and families seeking assistance with case managers who can help them obtain aid from multiple programs. Called the Remote Crisis Case Management (RCCM) system, the platform enables clients to apply for assistance from the safety of their homes, using mobile phones, tablets, or computers, and enables case managers to help them while working remotely, at a safe social distance.
In Monroe County, individuals and families should visit www.KeysHelp.org to apply in English, Spanish, and Creole. Residents can securely fill out an online application including uploading needed documents to complete the process quickly and safely. Additional community resources and information are also available through this link.   
Currently, the RCCM platform enables Keys families and individuals affected by COVID‑19 to apply for assistance with food, medical bills, childcare, communication and transportation expenses and prescription needs (up to $250 per household per month) by connecting with case managers at the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition. UWCK and FKOC have long been community partners in offering financial assistance to help local workers help during an unexpected crisis or illness. When COVID-19 arrived, so did a need to work together to provide services differently through a tool such as the RCCM platform. Additional services and organizations will be added in the coming months.
“We could not be more grateful to our local United Way for helping us find a solution that will not only make a big difference in how we operate during COVID-19 but moving forward,” said Stephanie Kaple, Executive Director of FKOC. “The need has been so great; we just didn’t have the manpower to meet it as quickly as we would like. But now we have this amazing tool that is going to help us not only now in this moment but also in the future.”
The United Way of Collier and the Keys has a Coronavirus Fund to help those in need during this crisis. Data from the RCCM platform will help us quickly identify the greatest challenges as we move through this crisis and distribute these funds where they can be most effective. Those who wish to LIVE UNITED and make a gift to the relief fund can visit http://www.KeysUnitedWay.org/Donate to help their neighbors in need.
Responding to the tremendous need for assistance the pandemic has caused, community members and local businesses have generously given to charitable organizations to aid fellow residents. That help is not always easy for a family to access, however. Without the RCCM platform, a family might need to contact several organizations delivering aid and visit all of them in person to fill out separate applications before connecting to the resources they truly need. In this time of crisis, the safe and efficient process RCCM provides is vital.
About United Way of Collier and the Keys
The United Way of Collier and the Keys creates thriving communities by improving the financial stability of families living paycheck to paycheck and by strengthening health and education. United Way plays a unique role in convening individual donors, businesses, nonprofits and government to work together to address community needs. For more information, please call the Key West office at (305) 735-1929.
About the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition
The Mission of the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition Inc. is to provide homeless individuals and families with the resources and opportunities by which to attain residential, financial and personal stability and self-sufficiency. The FKOC further seeks to address the underlying causes of homelessness and work toward its elimination in Monroe County, Florida. FKOC’s COVID-19 Financial Assistance program is funded through generous support of the United Way of the Collier & the Keys and the Ocean Reef Community Foundation. Keys Energy also provides funding for customers to apply for assistance with their electrical bills. For more information or for those not comfortable applying online, please call (305) 295-7741 for county-wide assistance.

OCTOBER 26, 2020 https://conta.cc/2J6bqTj
WE NOW CONTINUE WITH PART 2 OF 2 Starting with Mondays at Fantasy Fest
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fantasy Fest – Monday Memories
Back in the years B.C. (Before Covid) which we called normal times, the Monday of Fantasy Fest week marked the beginnings of the daily Revelry. The crowds were starting to arrive, the body painters were setting up shop and costumed party goers began wandering the streets after dark. The Big event on Monday was always the un-advertised “Kelly’s Kinky Karnival” where being scantily clad was required for entry and lingerie and S&M seemed to be the costumes of choice in an anything goes wild party that lasted until the wee hours. Better luck next year.
PS Tomorrow would be TUTU Tuesday, Stay tuned!
Over the last 20 years I have accumulated tens of thousands of Fantasy Fest photos, here are a few from the Local’s Masquerade March. Looking forward to 2021.

I’m honored that my “Napping Brown Pelican” Photo has been selected as one of the main images for the “Best of the Galapagos” 2021 calendar.

NOVEMBER 8th. ART AUCTION "HeArt Strings"

Bahama Village Music Program brings local artists and old instruments together for online art sale fundraiser
Twenty celebrated Key West artists will offer their “HeArt Strings” artwork created on old instruments in support of Bahama Village Music Program’s online fundraiser, set for Friday, November 8, on the non-profit organization’s Facebook and Instagram platforms. Event profits, funds much needed due to the outfall of COVID-19, will be split 50/50 to support the artists and the island’s only free music education school.
 
“BVMP is primarily funded by generous arts supporters and creative fundraisers,” says Executive Director Katchen Duncan. “Since March 2020, we’ve had to cancel over a dozen in-person fundraisers, including our 20th Birthday Bash, and many annual events like Fats Navarro Day and Sugarloaf Oktoberfest.”
 
Participating artists include Eric Anfinson, Kassie Burnette, Fran Decker, Cricket Desmarais, Kate Divoll, Kate Fago, Tony Gregory, Ben Harrison, Pam Hobbs, Marlene Koenig, Karen Luknis, Mike Marrero, Lauren P. McAloon, Jack McDonald, Bucky Montgomery, Jim Salem, Jimm Sherington, Emma Starr, B Lucy Stevens, and Rick Worth. The artists were invited to transform a “retired” string instrument into a creative masterpiece to be sold at a fixed price selected by them.
 
Bahama Village Music Program is a comprehensive music school that fosters important mentor relationships between local teenage musicians and their students and has taught over 20,000 lessons to more than 2,000 children since 1999. The program has grown to include free summer camps for BVMP students, free dance lessons with Dance Key West, yearly full-tuition scholarships and grants to student teachers to attend the Berklee College of Music’s Aspire: Five-Week Music Performance Intensive, and full-scale musical theater productions with Keys Kids Junior and House of Pan Steel Pan Band at Horace O’Bryant School— inspiring children island-wide to discover the musician within. 
 
“We are happy to have an ‘event’ that not only brings in money for our program, but for other artists, too,” says Duncan. 
 
For more information, email BVMP board member Cricket Desmarais at Cricket@bvmpkw.org or Executive Director Katchen Duncan at Katchen@bvmpkw.org. BVMP- Celebrating 21 years of free music education. It takes a village.

IMAGE: Key West artist Marlene Koenig takes her talent to a new surface in the upcoming Bahama Village Music Program “HeArt Strings” online art sale fundraiser, set for Friday, November 8, on the non-profit organization’s Facebook and Instagram platforms. Event profits, funds much needed due to the outfall of COVID-19, will be split 50/50 to support the artists and the island’s only free music education school.

IMAGE 2 : Ben just delivered his HeArt String creation for the BVMP fundraiser:
“My HeArt String was already roughed in by the students of the BVMP. What had been graffiti on an unplayable instrument, helped me understand how much the program means to them. The guitar had ‘Bahama Village Music Program’ sketched in marvelous script on the face, which I highlighted. Then on the neck, first fret in faded sharpie, was ‘Robin Kaplan’. On the last fret was ‘Katchen Duncan’. The names of other random luminaries are in between.
All I did was add a few musicians.
HARMONY, Ben”

 The City of Key West is complying with Executive Order 20-244 under the statewide opening rules set forth by Governor Ron DeSantis, while keeping in place the safety measures that have been implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the residents and visitors of the City.
All individuals over the age of six who are physically located within the City must wear a face covering at all times when they are away from their residence with certain exceptions. All businesses must ensure masks are always worn by employees and the public. A copy of Emergency Ordinance 20-14 may be found here: https://www.cityofkeywest-fl.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1441.
Per the Governor’s Order suspending the collection of all fines and penalties applied to individuals for violating the City’s COVID-19 public health ordinances and directives, the City of Key West will continue to issue civil citations for individuals not wearing masks and will process fines and penalties upon the lifting of the Governor’s Order. Any fines and penalties assessed against businesses will continue to be enforced and collected.
As the holiday season approaches and given the recent increase in positive reported cases of COVID-19 within the City of Key West, it is important that we continue our efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by hand-washing, social distancing and wearing our masks. The City reminds the community that the consistent usage of masks and other facial coverings will help the City avoid future business closures and is a more cost-effective means of addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key West Police Chief Sean Brandenburg on Tuesday presented Capt. JR Torres with a plaque and a challenge coin honoring his 25 years of service to the City.
During his 25 year career with the Key West Police Department he was promoted through the ranks serving in the patrol division, criminal investigations division, special operations unit, narcotics, training unit, K-9 unit, and hostage negotiations unit.
While Capt. Torres commanded several bureaus and divisions of the agency during his career, he also continued his education, attending numerous courses and seminars. Among them he lists the Southern Police Institute Command Officers Development School, Drug Enforcement Agency’s Drug Unit Commanders Academy, and the 48th FBI-LEEDA Law Enforcement Executive Training Course. Torres has also completed training as an Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic (EMT-P) as well as a Florida Department of Law Enforcement certified instructor for Basic Law Enforcement Academies and Advanced High Liability courses.
Capt. Torres’s community involvement is clearly reflected by his affiliation with many non-profit and charitable organizations. He is an active board member for the Police Athletic League (PAL), Mentor at the Key West High School, Keys to be the change pathway to success program, and also a great supporter of the Key West High School Wrestling Team.
During his career Capt. Torres has received several Chief’s Commendations and lifesaving awards. He has also been recognized by the Key West Chamber of Commerce as Officer of the year in 2003, Officer of the 4th quarter 2007, and Employee Recognition Award for outstanding dedication, service, and commitment to the citizens of Key West in 2010. He has also been the recipient of multiple awards from the Police Benevolent Association for Outstanding Service in Law Enforcement.

Digital Premiere of a play by Drew Larimore / produced & directed by Stephen Kitsakos

“A riveting online experience…”

In a small Midwestern university town a text message is sent that sets off a chain reaction altering the course of the lives of many who live in Smithtown. The play asks the question: how does technology, and the need for immediate, personal gratification on social media, undermine common sense, rationality and the rules of behavior in contemporary America?
A collaboration between Artists in Residence playwright Drew Larimore, filmmaker Harry Aspinwall, & Stephen Kitsakos, Studios Artistic Associate & Board President, the digital play features an ensemble of of performers including Michael Urie (Broadway’s Torch Song Trilogy, TV’s Ugly Betty), Ann Harada (Broadway’s Avenue Q, TV’s Smash), Colby Lewis (Chicago’s Hamilton, TV’s Chicago Med) and Constance Shulman (TV’s Orange is the New Black and Broadway’s The Rose Tattoo).

Stunning Photos From The Past Sure To Cause Nostalgia!
Written by Lyra Radford
(There is a very Brief Bio on Lyra Further Down)
 
 
Magic nannies, caped crusaders, friendly aliens...the groovy era was filled with outlandishly awesome plots. This was a time when walking into a studio executive meeting and pitching a show about a man driving cross-country with his monkey was given the green light immediately. The images collected here are full of optimistic, fantastical, and magic times from pop culture history. These happy days are yours and mine to look back at fondly anytime. 



The Beatles were huge fans of the late, great Fats Domino and met him before their concert in New Orleans. (1964)
Immortalized to film back in 1964 is this awesome moment these rock 'n' roll legends got to meet face-to-face in New Orleans. The Beatles had their City Park concert in September of 1964 and couldn’t pass up the chance to meet their long time idol Antoine “Fats” Domino Jr. while in the Big Easy.
The Beatles named "Fats" Domino as a major influence in their music. According to George Harrison, Domino's "I'm in Love Again" was the first rock 'n' roll song he had ever heard. Lennon later covered Domino's 1955 "Ain't That a Shame," he said it was the first song he learned to play. Then in 1968, Domino covered the Beatles' "Lady Madonna," which became his last charting single.

Faye Dunaway in a scene from the iconic film, Bonnie and Clyde 1967
Pictured here is Faye Dunaway in a scene from Bonnie and Clyde back in 1967. The iconic biographical crime film is considered a landmark in cinema history. It represents the dawn of “New Hollywood” as it broke many cinematic taboos. It’s also credited with prompting other filmmakers to be more open with depicting sex and violence in their work.
Stars Warren Beatty (Clyde Barrow) and Faye Dunaway (Bonnie Parker) had a real life love affair, that was “torrid” to say the least. Their affair may have ended long ago but the two are still bickering with each other all these years later. They were both mortified to find they were presenting at the 2017 Oscars together and argued the whole time.
During the award show, Dunaway wrongfully announced “LaLa Land” as Best Picture (after Beatty handed her the card) even though it was “Moonlight” who rightfully won. Rumors began flying immediately that Beatty set Dunaway up to embarrass her. 

Game of Death, Bruce Lee getting a kick out of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1973.
Pictured here is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bruce Lee while filming The Game of Death. This film was Lee’s last, he wrote, directed, and starred in this 1972 Hong Kong martial arts film, which remains unfinished to this day.
Lee took a break from his pet project to star in Enter the Dragon, but sadly he died of cerebral edema before the film's release or the completion of his own. Somehow quite a bit of the footage from The Game of Death was misplaced in the archives. What footage could be salvaged it was released as part of the documentary entitled Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey.


Who remembers this 1976-78 TV series called C.P.O. Sharky starring comedian Don Rickles. For those who don’t remember, C.P.O. Sharkey is a sitcom that starred Don Rickles as the abrasive U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Otto Sharkey. He is stationed at a San Diego naval base and initially comes off as pretty insulting to everyone around him, but he often went to great lengths to help recruits when needed. Rickles, really did serve in the Navy during World War II, and he was already well-known for his insult-style humor making him perfect for the role.
The Batmobile from the 1966-68 Batman TV series.
In it’s original form, the Batmobile from the 1966–1968 television series was a Ford concept car called the Lincoln Futura. In 1965, famed customizer George Barris was brought in by ABC to design a "Batmobile" just prior to production.
There had already been early design work and some fabrication using a 1959 Cadillac but as things weren’t going according to schedule so that’s when George Barris was brought in to turn things around. With only three weeks to finish, Barris decided to just transform the Lincoln Futura (bought for $1.00) into the now iconic vehicle of TV's famed caped crusader. 


Ann-Margret and Joe Namath starred in C.C. and Company in 1970. Broadway Joe had his first starring role in a film as a motorcycle rebel.
Ann-Margret, the female Elvis Presley and Joe Namath co-starred in the 1970 biker film, C.C. and Company. Namath plays biker C.C. Ryder, and Ann-Margret is a fashion journalist Ann. The film also stars William Smith as Moon, the leader of the outlaw biker gang the "Heads".
This marked the start of Joe Namath’s film acting career. He had up until then, done some television and theater acting but his career had been professional football. During the 1960s and 1970s, Namath was an AFL icon and played for the New York Jets for most of his career and then the Los Angeles Rams. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
Maren Kawehilani Jensen, who played Athena in TV's Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Pictured here is Maren Kawehilani Jensen as Athena in the science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica back in the late 1970’s. The series ran for the 1978–79 season before being canceled. Then, in 1980 they revived the show as Galactica with 10 episodes. The story continued in books before it was remade for television again in the 2000s.
Athena is probably the role Jensen is best known for. The plot of which, reads as follows: “After the destruction of the Twelve Colonies of Mankind, the last major fighter carrier leads a makeshift fugitive fleet on a desperate search for the legendary planet Earth.”

WE CONTINUE WITH BILL AND LINDA KLIPP'S sharing their GREAT Photos from Recent Fantasy Fests to give us a little Taste of the Excitement of This Fun Annual Event That we were deprived of this Year

Fantasy Fest – Local’s Masquerade Marchand Zombie Bike Ride
By far our two most favorite Fantasy Fest events are the Zombie Bike Ride (Sunday) and the Local’s Masquerade March which takes place on Friday of Fantasy Fest week. Thousands of incredible costumed parade marchers gather just a few blocks from our house at the Key West Cemetery where the parade splits in two heading to downtown on 2 different routes ultimately meeting on Duval St. Our favorite is wandering down Fleming street stopping at Halloween decorated Guest Houses for a jello shot. This is the day where Key West’s locals show off their amazing creativity, many in thematic oriented groups. Definitely the best event of the week. Over the last 20 years I have accumulated tens of thousands of Fantasy Fest photos, here are a few from the Local’s Masquerade March. Looking forward to 2021.

We Now Continue with Part 1 of Probably 8 Weeks of showing an AMAZING 120+ Collection of Classic Cars Owned by Jay Leno "Jay Leno's Garage". He also had a CNBC TV Show Featuring his 120 Classic Cars WWW.LENOSGARAGE.COM
7. 1906 Advance Steam Traction Engine
Model Year: 1906, Original Value: $260*, Current Value: $7,473*
 
The 1906 Advance Steam Traction Engine is part of Leno’s “Steam Room,” which is the section of Big Dog Garage that holds his collection of steam-powered vehicles. This 1906 Engine dates back to a time before there were cars, and Leno said that he acquired this engine because he isn’t just interested in cars; he’s also a history buff. Leno took Hemmings on a tour, explaining that his 1906 Engine held technology that England especially guarded “like it was NASA.” Leno’s 1906 Engine weighs thirteen tons (26,000 pounds) and has a top speed of 4MPH. The only gear change available is reverse. There are no brakes.
8. 1909 Baker Electric
Model Year: 1909, Original Value: $850*, Current Value: $20,000*
 
In 2007, Jay Leno showed off his 1909 Baker Electric vehicle, which was one of the earliest variations of a zero-emissions car. Thomas Edison owned one of these vehicles. Leno did a photoshoot for the New York Times behind the steering tiller of the antique car. The 1909 Baker Electric was built by Baker Motor Vehicle Company, which was a big-name Brass Era manufacturer. The 1909 Baker Electric is the oldest model from Baker in existence today. Though it has zero emissions, this car is far from aerodynamic and, certainly, it is not road legal. It has a top speed of 25 miles per hour, and there is no steering wheel, only a tiller. 
9. 1954 Jaguar XK120M Coupe
Model Year: 1954, Original Value: $3,979*, Current Value: $136,950*
 
This beautiful blue 1954 Jaguar XK120M Coupe had its body restored in Jay Leno’s factory. This was Leno’s first-ever collector car, and, other than his 1955 Buick, he has never owned a car longer than he has this 1954 Jag. The XK120M Coupe would later get a sibling: the XK120, which was bright-white.
The XK120M first debuted at the London Motor Show. It was so popular there that the founder of Jaguar, William Lyons, bowed to public pressure and agreed to put it into production. A total of 12,055 XK120 cars were made. Only a fraction of these had the “M” designation.
10. 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special
Model Year: 1917, Original Value: $1,230*, Current Value: $1 million*
 
Leno took his 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special for a drive around town, and the sheer loudness of the car impressed/annoyed everyone. His 1971 Botafogo was originally built in Argentina by Adolfo Scandroglio, an Argentinian racer. The car’s top speed is 146 miles per hour, but it has, concerningly, a little trouble stopping and requires about a quarter-mile to brake properly. The car’s power comes from its 21.7-liter engine, which was used in a WWI aircraft. The design of this Botafogo Special was based on the Fiat Special Mephistopheles, which was owned by Lord Eldridge, a senior officer in the British Army. 
12. Bugatti Type 51
Model Year: 1931, Original Value: $12,900*, Current Value: $4 million*
 
Jay Leno is a huge fan of Bugatti. He knows pretty much everything about the history, and he reminded everyone, when walking fans on his YouTube channel through his Bugatti Type 51, that Bugatti was one of the greatest racecar builders in the world in the twenties and thirties, too. The Type 51 has a supercharged 8-cylinder engine that Leno described as one of the “finest sounds” in car history. The Type 51’s engine design was “borrowed” (or stolen, depending on who you ask) from Harry Miller, an American racecar constructor. The engine got an unprecedented 185 horsepower as a result.
13. 1932 Bowtie Deuce Roadster LS7 Hot Rod
Model Year: 2005, Original Value: $495*, Current Value: $135,000*
 
Leno acquired/created this 1932 Bowtie Deuce Roadster LS7 Hot Rod in 2005. He made some changes under the hood to the Bowtie, adding in a GM small-block LS7 engine. He also replaced the frame with that of a 1932 Chevy, which means that this technically qualifies as a hot rod. Leno’s Bowtie came about from a partnership with GM. The engine was tuned up to get 580HP and 470 pound-feet of torque, which it owes directly to the parts under the hood, which all came from a sixth-generation Z06 from Corvette (not the first time Leno has put Corvette parts into a hot rod).

Stunning Photos From The Past Sure To Cause Nostalgia!
Written by Lyra Radford
(There is a very Brief Bio on Lyra Further Down)
 
 
Magic nannies, caped crusaders, friendly aliens...the groovy era was filled with outlandishly awesome plots. This was a time when walking into a studio executive meeting and pitching a show about a man driving cross-country with his monkey was given the green light immediately. The images collected here are full of optimistic, fantastical, and magic times from pop culture history. These happy days are yours and mine to look back at fondly anytime. 


Suzanne Pleshette & Troy Donahue were briefly married and divorced in 1964.
Pictured here are actress Suzanne Pleshette and singer/actor Troy Donahue. Donahue was a popular male sex symbol and was married four times. His first marriage was to Suzanne Pleshette, they had co-starred in two films together and were married on January 5, 1964, in Beverly Hills. A whopping nine months later they were divorced.
His second marriage didn’t last much longer. October 21, 1966, Donahue married actress Valerie Allen and by April 1967 they were separated. She waited until April of 1968 to file for divorce and in it she charged him with cruelty.
Wife number three was executive secretary Alma Sharpe. They married on November 15, 1969 and divorced in 1972. Donahue's fourth and final marriage was to a land developer named Vicki Taylor. They were married in 1979 and divorced in 1981. At this point he called it quits and never remarried.  


 
The Striped Tomato 1975 Torino from Starsky and Hutch was as popular as the stars who drove it on the show!
Starsky and Hutch was a series from the 70s that followed Southern California police detectives: David Michael Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and Kenneth Richard "Hutch" Hutchinson. They were known for tearing through the streets of fictional Bay City, California in Starsky's bright red, two-door Ford Gran Torino. It had a large white vector stripe running up both sides. Hence the name “the striped tomato”. It was the episode “Snowstorm”, in which the Torino was nicknamed the "Striped Tomato" by Hutch. Subsequently, it stuck and fans referred to the car by that nickname, too.




Bing's daughter, Mary Crosby, played Kristin Shepard in the TV series Dallas from 1979–1981.
Pictured here is the lovely Mary Frances Crosby; the only daughter of Bing Crosby, from his second marriage to the actress Kathryn Grant. Like her parents, Mary grew up to work in the entertainment industry. The actress. Is probably best known for her role as Kristin Shepard (Sue Ellen Ewing's scheming sister) in the television series Dallas from 1979 to 1981. She also made another guest appearance in 1991. Ultimately, it was Crosby’s character who was revealed to have been the person who pulled the trigger in the classic episode "Who shot J. R.?" Which was the question of the summer back in 1980.



 
Adam West and Burt Ward in bathrobes on the set of Batman in 1966.

Pictured here are Adam West and Burt Ward donning bathrobes of all things, while working on the set of Batman back in 1966. While on screen the Dynamic Duo worked tirelessly together, thwarting arch-nemeses and saving the city with ease off screen was an entirely different story.
It seemed a battle of epic proportions centered around the male ego was at play on a regular basis. Ward felt like he was a sidekick in real life, he felt he was underpaid and not treated equally to his co-star Adam West. He also claimed the rest of the cast was awarded more luxuries than he was.


  
Burt Reynolds and Sally Field switching things up on the set of Smokey and the Bandit 1977
It's always heartwarming to see an old photo of these two. Sally Field and Burt Reynolds were far more than just co-stars, they started dating while filming Smokey and the Bandit and they were the kind of couple you just had to root for. According to Burt, Sally was the love of his life. But sadly, he didn’t know a good thing when he had it because he was the one who broke her heart after 5-years together. 
Their breakup was so bitter that they didn’t speak for over two decades. Burt later decided to break the silence and confess his regret through the press, “I did four movies with Sally and spent five years with her. She was the love of my life and I screwed the relationship up. That sense of loss never goes away. I have no idea what Sally thinks about it. She could pick up the phone and speak to me but she never does. I spoke to her son recently. He said that his mum talks about me all the time. Maybe she’ll phone me one day. I’d love to have that conversation.”

Steve Allen and Elvis discuss in rehearsal how Elvis will sing his song, Hound Dog to a basset hound on a pedestal wearing a top hat. 1956
Pictured here are Steve Allen and Elvis going over the blocking and discussing how Elvis would Hound Dog. Allen was striving to avoid a repeat of the controversy that occurred after Elvis swiveled his hips on 'The Milton Berle Show'. Apparently, he felt the best way to do that was to have the King serenade a basset hound on a pedestal wearing a top hat. Look, all three of them have the same facial expression. The Times reported N.B.C.-TV's Steve Allen toppled C.B.S.-TV's Ed Sullivan after featuring Elvis Presley. N.B.C. surpassed Mr. Sullivan only three times during the entire 1955-1956 season.

Brian's Song a tearjerker based on a true story with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams as teammates Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers. 1971
Brian's Song is a movie that recounts the life of Wake Forest University football player Brian Piccolo (played by James Caan), who has been diagnosed terminal cancer after turning pro. The story is told through his friendship with Gale Sayers (played by Billy Dee Williams) who was a Chicago Bears running back and Pro Football Hall of Famer.
It’s based on Sayers' account of his friendship with Piccolo and coping with his illness. The two men having come from different backgrounds made theirs and unlikely friendship for the time, but they were very close and even became the first interracial roommates in the history of the National Football League.
As Entertainment Weekly readers said when polled back in 2005, poll taken in 2005,'Brian's Song' is seventh on the list of the top "guy-cry" films ever made.
The first actress to portray Marilyn Munster in 1964 was Beverely Owens, who left The Munsters in the middle of the first season.

Pictured here is Beverly Owens, the first actress to play the odd Munster out, Marilyn Munster. Bright, beautiful, cheery, she just didn’t fit the gothic mold of the rest of the clan on Mockingbird Lane. Owens ended up leaving the show mid-season, actress Pat Priest assumed the role. Herman Munster would often crack jokes alluding to Marilyn’s "plain" looks coming from Lily's side of the family.
The recent rumors circulating about a reboot of “The Munsters” has been confirmed. While they are drawing inspiration from the 1960s classic, the new series will be embracing the modern age, with the Munsters struggling to fit in with the hipster Brooklyn scene. 
ABOVE IN THE LEAD TEASE PHOTOS "DRAGNET"
Jack Webb (Joe Friday) and Harry Morgan (Bill Gannon) from the TV series Dragnet. 1970

Pictured here is Jack Webb (Joe Friday) and Harry Morgan (Bill Gannon) from the 1970’s TV series Dragnet. While Dragnet was first a radio series and eventually a movie, it ended up becoming the most influential police procedural drama television series in the genre’s history. Sure, now we have Law & Order, Blue Bloods, and a myriad of other intense police dramas but Dragnet is where it all really started.
The insight and genuine interest of the general public in what was really involved in real police work began with the series. It was the first time audience members were given a feel for the danger and heroism of police work and it actually worked to improve the public’s opinion of real police officers. The show’s cultural impact is undeniable; with its realism and unpretentious acting spanning over five decades, Dragnet remains a key influence on most modern police dramas of today.

The November 9th Issue will have (Part 3 from Lyra Radford and WWW.GROOVYHISTORY.COM ) Many Additional Photos of "Stunning Photos from the Past SURE to Cause NOSTALGIA" WWW.GROOVYHISTORY.COM

The Market typically includes cheese, produce, fruit, baked goods, coffee, plants and fresh seafood along with international cuisine available for take-away. Arts, crafts and general merchandise round out the offerings. Additional picnic-style food options, occasional acoustic musicians and a beer and wine stand to encourage the community to shop the market, get dinner and enjoy the sunset views from the Truman Waterfront Park. Blankets and lawn chairs are permitted with ample space to social distance. Stringent safety protocols, including mandatory masks, remain in place to protect vendors and visitors alike.

About South Florida Symphony Orchestra
South Florida Symphony Orchestra, founded by Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso 23 years ago, provides exciting and enriching cultural experiences through Masterworks concerts with internationally renowned guest solists in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Key West. Guided by the belief that music is pivotal to community engagement, SFSO also brings vibrancy and strengthens public commitment to the arts through its transformative outreach and educational programming, including Symphony in the Schools for culturally underserved students.

After impressive career successes, Maestra Alfonso returned “home” to Key West, Florida, in 1997 to make a dream come true: bringing orchestral music, with all its associated educational and cultural benefits, to the southernmost island in the continental United States. In late 1998, with huge community support, the Key West Symphony made its debut. Subsequently renamed, the South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) is the only professional orchestra that performs full seasons in Key West, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Award-winning Maestra Alfonso has established herself as a dynamic musical force. She is one of the few female conductors in the world. Her creativity has established SFSO as a leader in innovative collaborations, which are evolving the classical music art form and attracting new audiences.
