Knott's Berry Farm Restaurant, Buena Park

 

from the looks of the women's hairdo and the men's ties, I'd say this is 1967 or 1968.  Thanks to Jeff Tucker for the pic.  Another picture from about 1985.

Dad absolutely loved the chicken dinners at Knott's Berry Farm.  I know for a fact that he used to go here with Marilyn and her friends a few times.  I went at least once with Dad.  One reason he loved it was because they served rhubarb cobbler on the side.  Talk about your old-fashioned treat!  He loved rhubarb.  I don't know what his earliest experience with it was, but he loved rhubarb.  

I did go on a date here with Joanne and her sister, Jen, chaperoned.  Joanne liked the place a lot because she and her family used to attend here along with her boyfriend, Dennis, from Calvary Chapel. 

 

There are other names for tart or crumble: Other names for fruit desserts include cobbler, crisp, buckle, betty, grunt, slump, and pandowdy. Each of these desserts has its own unique preparation and topping style.

This is a clip from the women's 100m sprint final at the 2022 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

It shows University of Kentucky sprinter Abby Steiner (in the blue-and-white uniform) on one of the legs—famously surging from behind with explosive late acceleration to nearly overtake the field, which is why the viral caption calls her “the cheetah’s daughter.”

Exact date of the race: Saturday, June 11, 2022 (women’s 100m final at ~2:32 p.m. local time in Eugene, Oregon).

Kentucky took 2nd overall in that final (Texas won), but Steiner’s race went massively viral for her top-end speed and mechanics. The clip is from her standout college season where she also set the NCAA 200m record earlier that same weekend. 

As a champion, she's had other victories.

The Midnight Story, 1957

As well as Tony Curtis, the standout performances come from Gilbert Roland & Marisa Pavan, as well as Kathleen Freeman, who makes the most of a couple of scenes.

Plenty of San Francisco location work, and supporting roles for Jay C Flippen & Ted De Corsia. Liked Peggy Maley too.

The first clip is 6th and Hill. Second clip is Broadway (Kress was located at 644-646 Broadway). Can’t make out the others but I love the old traffic signals “STOP” and “GO”

Nice find and compilation by Henry Briceno.

This shot amazes me.

That's Figueroa Street in the foreground.  The Figueroa Street Tunnels are just west of this on the eastbound lanes.  Also called even today the Arroyo Seco Parkway.
