I lived in Newington from 65-74 and vividly remember the drive in and the lights on the sign as we came up to the intersection. Wonderful memories!

western electric PA speaker, if its the one with the hole the middle of the magnet its worth about 800$ US on Ebay. Probably could by a good wide angle lens for that kind of money. Whats your reason Mr. Motts for not helping your self to the treasures these places have to offer?

Mr Motts it seem you have dived into the realm of philosophy, a very dangerous realm to explore more dangerous then any of the ruins you have been in.
Principles have been set in the American judicial system to protect people from their own stupidity, for example 1967 the government told the auto company’s to put seat belts in all their cars that was setting a principle, once the government did that others came along and said if seat belts can be mandated then so can air bags, seat belt pretensioners and crumple zones, etc. In the realm of western philosophy to protect people from their own stupidity is disgusting, you have free will, as American citizens epically you are entitled to liberty, if you want to drive a car with no seat belts or wonder around an abounded factory you have the right to do so. In any case to avoid talking about John Locke, Aristotle etc. who’s philosophies were the foundation of the United States, I will simply state when it comes to protecting people from their own stupidity in a free society determining the limits of such an ideology is almost impossible and because of that you end up with arbitrary laws which creates things like police won’t really enforce laws that are designed to prevent Mr Motts from taking his wonderful pictures but they will enforce laws that make people wear seat belts.
