I think those eyeballs may have been green olives once. To hell with eating them, could you imagine the SMELL if you opened one of those jars??

Reading about the cost of cigarettes takes me back to my college days. 1968 to be exact. If you had $1.30 you could get a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of Ripple which made any night better.

La Luxembourgeoise is still located at the corner of Boulevard Royale and Grand-Rue, in what looks like a more modern building than 1934.

I work from home.....would give almost anything to have an office like this. You're right, eldokid, a bit of Murphy's Oil Soap and the room would be ready for me to start work.

Motts, did you open the doors on the desk to see what treasures were hidden away?

Such detail went into the construction of this home - wood work, ceiling molding, door frames. Beautiful. I can imagine this was such a warm, 'homey' place before being abandoned. They just don't build homes with this attention to detail anymore.

Wow...love the floor and all the wood paneling. If this was in the states, some flipper would rip every bit of this out....sad.
Excellent shot.

"'I'll quit when they reach $1... I'll quit when they reach $2'...and so on."
"I feel I can stop when I want."

Both of these things are statements almost all smokers make.
And we all thought slavery until death was an abolished notion.
Ahhh...the life of a smoker.

Shoes...unmatching.

I didn't try, since the back door was open and there are lots of neighbors around. If I did, the squealing hinges probably would've alerted everyone in the town!

I would totally sleep here instead of an airbnb.

"Hush little baby, don't say a word.."
"Awww...mom, can you sing the whole song tonight?"
"I SAID--DON"T say a word! Now go to bed. Geesh, I need another drink."

Where did that come from? I heard it all upon viewing this picture.

If you look at the bed's topper, you can almost see the outline and depressions of the human body impression that must have slept there night after night, enough to leave its mark.

How many guests do you show your bedroom to?

Did...you...open...the...door?

I wonder what the small box on the floor to the right of the doorway is? Looks like it might have a wire running to it. Servants call?
