Blue Valley Lanes. Wind Gap, PA
Vintage neon that needs repair. Too bad that bowling pin is missing.

Scenes from an afternoon at Wind Gap and Saylorsburg Flea Markets.
Aunt Nellie's Liquid Starch
Label from a plastic bottle from the 1960s.
After forty-odd years under the seal of a metal cap, the product's viscosity had, uh... changed.

NOTE: Said mess was left to congeal in open air (atop a pile of rocks in the flea market parking lot).
