Links From Me To Link To

Al Feldstein, the great editor-writer of Tales from the Crypt, The Haunt of Fear and other EC comics and MAD sends me (and others) links to wonderful webpages he encounters about what's going on in the world today. He just sent out this link, which is to a fascinating short video about world population.

If you grew up in Los Angeles like I did, you will enjoy this site, which features vintage postcards of L.A. past.  I especially love the pics of the old Ontra cafeterias — which served the best hot turkey sandwiches in the world — and the Miracle Mile, which was then a boulevard lined with great clothing stores like Desmonds and Orbachs.  There are also a couple of shots over there of Westwood Village as I remember it from my childhood — a lot of quaint, one-story buildings.  Great stuff.
