    *A favorite spot for our family to visit for many years. The Plymouth has been in this same parking lot many, many times.

    But why a white fire hydrant?

    I have seen white fire hydrants, yellow ones, red fire hydrants, and red, white, & blue ones.

    July 9, 1969: A week before the launch, the astronauts reported to the flight crew training building of the NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin arrives at the flight crew training building.

    *Looks like a mid 60s Plymouth/Dodge Wagon in the background.
    (I recognize that shape anywhere ;))

    This picture was posted recently, but now I have some info on what is going on here:

    July 16, 1969: Thousands of people camped out on beaches and roads adjacent to the Kennedy Space Center to watch the Apollo 11 liftoff.

    This’ll be the third time we’ve seen the billboards for Montclair, New Jersey-based Clairidge Lincoln-Mercury in street scene photos found on the Duke University Libraries Digital Collections, so one would think we’d eventually come across vintage photos of the actual dealership. Until then, let’s take a look at today’s street scene. What do you see here? And can anybody pinpoint the location? - See more at: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/tag/montclair-new-jersey/#sthash.do881WvG.dpuf
