1. Awwww...lookit these cuties from Gay's Lion Farm....

....I really got sidetracked with these pics of ol' Americana! :loveya:

Gay's Lion farm was in El Monte, California, which is about 13 miles from Los Angeles. Gay's Lion farm opened in 1919 and closed in 1942. At one time the "farm" housed the MGM lion and several lions that were used in Tarzan movies. The site was open to tourists and they sold post cards, as you can see from the collection here. The following old postcards, brochures and other images of Gay's Lion Farm, provide a great visual look back at Gay's Lion Farm's history.

2. I've been looking at the Movieland Wax Museum pictures

It's interesting to compare the quality of the wax reproductions. The Chaplin was good, for example, but the James Dean looked nothing like the guy. Anyway, that site is a great find. Thanks for posting it.
