Going, Going, Gone: Automat

Since I had some time, I'd figure I'd take a look at the second chapter of Going, Going, Gone. This chapter takes a look at a New York landmark, the Automat.

The first automat was opened in Germany in 1895. A forerunner to a cafeteria, people walked in, handed over some change and got food.

The first one in America opened in Philadelphia in 1902 before one opened in New York City in 1912. From there it was a smash sensation. For 5 cents you could get a full meal. A neat idea and I can see the popularity.

Admittedly I can see how the concept was utterly crushed by the arrival of modern vending machines.   A good concept lost to progress, although apparently a start up tried to bring the concept back in 2007.

Could it come back? I don't think so. Vending machines can offer much the same. I've seen the spinning models that offer cheeseburgers. I think the variety offered would be cool, but for food on the go I think most people would settle for a bar and a soda.

Re-Write the Book: The Lex Express

Not quite seasonal, but I had an idea. Lex Luger was a gent who should have been bigger than he was, but one angle of his stood out.

The Master, or why I don't write for TV

Did you know the Master has been released on DVD?

The short lived 80's show about ninjas and Van Patten's may not have been the best show but, in proof of my warped mind I think I could have done something with the idea.

Updates and upcoming events

Hope everyone enjoyed our look back at the Golden Age Green Lantern and his many besuited foes.

More or less a break for a bit, but be sure to come back this June for a special surprise, as well as what might be the last go-round for the Summer of Love(craft) plus the return of Shark Week.
