My friend Heather David recently published this cool book of mid century architecture in the Bay Area. Enjoy. From the book jacket... Mid-Century by the Bay is a celebration of some of the places that made the San Francisco Bay Area a special region in which to live, work, and play in the...

I need your help. I would like to find some quality wooden, spring loaded clothespins. It seems they're harder to find than I thought. And, those that I've found seem flimsy, not the quality of the clothespins I remember from my grandmother's house. Any suggestions on where to find some would be...

Hey guys, I need your expertise. A friend of mine is buying a new cook top for his kitchen and would like your suggestions. He has seen and is interested in a KitchenAid glass cooktop (guess he found one on sale and likes the look of it). What do you think? Alternate suggestions? FYI, I only...

I want to extend a big Thank You to fellow VCCC members Akabent (Rick Benedikt) and Elexomarty (Marty Rocha) for their generous hospitality a few weekends ago. (I've been very slow in posting this thread!) Marty drove over from Palm Springs to spend the day with me during my recent visit to...

To quote Charlie W., "a little birdie told me that my dear friend Ida Corwin, aka Fred Nelson, has a birthday on Sunday!" Like Charlie, I too will be traveling on your birthday, so in case I don't get to talk with you before Sunday...

I spoke with Marty Rocha last night and learned that he's not feeling well. I'm sure you'll join me in wishing him a speedy recovery. Get well soon Mr. Man.

Here are a few snaps of Christmas in San Francisco...

How cool is this?! Check out the Tide CleanStart truck. How brilliant! Having fun with washers AND helping the community at the same time. We could be doing something like this. http://www.tide.com/en_US/cleanstart/index.jsp

As some of you know, my PC crashed a few weeks ago. I lost a lot of vital information. I figured this was a good excuse to finally switch back to the Mac. My new "toy" arrived on October 26. I'm still in a learning mode; but, so far, I'm loving my new iMac. I'd be interested to hear from...

Robert, I want to thank you for your tireless effort in creating and providing an excellent forum for appliance enthusiasts to gather, share stories, form friendships and just plain have a good time together. And, as a newbie, I also want to thank you for making me feel welcome in this group. I...

Did anyone watch "Big Love" tonight? If so, did you see the Compact or Tristar vacuum at Joey and Wanda's? Can anyone tell which model it was?

I would appreciate feedback on Fisher & Paykel Appliances, especially the washers and dishwashers, from anyone who owns and/or sells them. Thanks.

I just discovered this clip from the final episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and thought there might be some other Mary Tyler Moore fan-atics out there who would appreciate this as much as I did. I'm sure some of you, like me, even saw it during its first run, before reruns. Enjoy. Robert...
