I just watched this YouTube video on the Charleston Town Center… I remember taking the girls in there shopping… It was such a big deal for us. It’s making me sad thinking about it. I’m not sure how long the town center mall will hang on… I think even JCP is gone now.. I also…

I Just Watched “Concorde A Supersonic Story (BBC 2017). Iconic Airplanes In History”
I really enjoyed this… At one point Joan Collins was interviewed…. along with several flight attendants, pilots, people who worked on building it and even passengers… They only had one profitable route, New York to London… so they started chartering the plane out….There were people who profited from selling day excursions to exotic places. When…

Nelson Sullivan had over 1900 hours of film that he had taken over several years in New York City. There are less than 200 hours that are online. They are no longer being uploaded. After doing a little research, I found out his mother was born in 1914, which would have made her around 72…

I Just Watched “Betty White Talks Sex Drive and Loss of Mickey Rooney” on YouTube
Larry King asked Betty if she feared leaving the planet? She didn’t but found it fascinating and thinks of it as another adventure. I love her attitude. This premiered when she was 92 years old in 2014. She talked highly of her husband who died in 1981. Larry King asked if she would pursue someone…

Is 2020 Now The Queen’s New Annus Horribilis? | Last Battles
I don’t get to watch very many new documentaries on the Royal Family, so this was really nice. Her first Annus Horribilis was in 1992… so the title is a play on that. I learned, that like Queen Victoria, she has written in her diary every day for 70 years. I bet there are a…
👸I Just Watched “Princess Diana’s Mental Health Struggles”| Behind The Palace Walls | Real Royalty
This came out in 1995.. two years before she died. It was interesting they said she was a commoner who married into royalty… I’m not an expert. but she came from an aristocratic family, far from being a commoner. Another thing I thought was interesting, strangely enough, was when she was withdrawing from Royal life,…
