Remember when you could sip on a glass of coconut champagne
at an open-air sidewalk bar in New York City -- and it only cost 5
cents?
Neither do we, but we bet it was epic.
Thanks to a rare color film reportedly shot in New York in the summer of 1939, you can get a glimpse of life in the Big Apple during the end of the Great Depression.
The recently released footage, which was shot on 16mm Kodachrome film according to Italian archivist Vincent Romano, shows men hanging their arms out the open windows of elevated trains, street vendors hawking potatoes in wooden crates for 2 cents per pound and women relaxing in lounge chairs on the deck of Rockefeller Center.
In an email to The Huffington Post, Romano said the footage is part of a longer film shot by Jean Vivier, a French tourist who sailed from Marseille to New York on the SS Normandie. You can watch color footage filmed by Vivier on board the transatlantic ship here and here.

All of a sudden there was no way out - North, South, East, or West, nothing but cars bumper to bumper stopped still on a major hwy running into and out of Oklahoma City.
A storm front was chasing most of the people living there making them feel terrified because of what had just happen a month before in Moore Oklahoma, a nice suburb outside of Oklahoma City.
The town of Moore was virtually turned into a pile of rubble by a class 4 tornado that sadly killed some scared children as they huddled arm in arm inside their school only to die because of that tornado mindless fury.
Out of a hundred people crammed into the store only around fifty could hurry up to fit inside a store freezer hoping for the best. Oklahoma City like most if not all of American cities highways can't handle all the people living there trying to drive out of the City all at once. The American highways can't handle the volume. Our great modern cities are not so modern after all.
Not enough storm shelters and not a better hwy to handle all of the traffic trying to get out of harms way, is that the way everyone really want to live these days? Losing children to Toronto that we could really avoid if the people would only plan better, just make me very sad.
After all ever gods birds can simply get up and fly away, so why can't we?
Are the citizens of the United States going to regain their common sense becoming people who take care of their own immediate responsibility. Or are they going to continue to become helpless victims to the blue bloods ivy league academic Oracle daily TV show, telling the people living in America what to do and how to do it?
At what price does this daily TV show of the people plugged into the American social system, or organism cost? You know the we have ours by steeling from yours generachion, the on going social click crowd of who you know to success generachion, that keep failing everyone else outside the blue blood club.
Just look at the coast of American medical system alone. Read a story by ELISABETH ROSENTHAL New Your Times column about why U.S. leads World in health expenditures

Oklahoma was in the crosshairs of another tornado outbreak on Friday, killing five and injuring more than 50 others. After multiple twisters touched down, the hit areas were struck with high flooding. "This is a shell-shocked city," said NBC's Janet Shamlian.
Five tornadoes — one a half-mile wide — ripped into the Oklahoma City area Friday evening, killing nine people and injuring scores more.
The Oklahoma Office of the Chief of Medical Examiner tells NBC News seven adults and two children are confirmed dead, including a mother and her small child. At least five people killed were in vehicles and may have been trying to flee as dark clouds gathered and warning sirens wailed, authorities said.
Marcus Jolly, 32, of El Reno told The Oklahoman newspaper the scene along Interstate 40 "was a war zone. There were semis turned over and skeletons of buildings remaining.”

LSU once again was becoming in
danger of losing another heartbreak playoff baseball game stopping LSU
chances from playing in the college world series in Omaha, Nebraska. Can
we the LSU baseball fans handle such a painful outcome like that once
again?
No said the LSU record breaking attendance crowd as
the self same LSU baseball team who suffered being eliminated last year
also agreed. LSU will not fall no matter what.
5 errors and a unusual shaky starting pitching performance - No LSU said also with 8 runs, scoring 3 more points then what Sam Huston had. And then Alex box stadium began to rock as walk on pitcher Cotton was leaving the kids stuff alone working over San Houston State with a grown man competition spirit.
No we will not lose this baseball playoff game again. LSU 8 Sam Houston 5, who's next?

Top of the 1st inning
McMullen leads the game off on an infield single, but it looks like it might’ve been a bad call … Foster tries to lay down a sacrifice bunt, but McMullen is thrown out at 2nd … Bregman hits one that looks as though it’ll be a lazy fly ball off the bat, but it keeps carrying until it sails over the fence — BUT WAIT! — the umpires rule it a double, because when the ball sailed over the fence, it hit something and came back in the field. Bad call, but there’s no replay. That leaves LSU with runners at 2nd and 3rd … Katz grounds into a fielder’s choice, and Foster is out at home as he broke for the plate on contact … Rhymes walks to load the bases … Ibarra draws a bases-loaded walk to put LSU ahead 1-0 … JaCoby Jones grounds out to 2B to end the inning. 1 runs, 2 hits, 0 errors, 3 left. LSU 1, Sam Houston 0

The rich just keep getting richer in the SEC.
On the final day of the SEC spring meetings down in Destin, Fla., commissioner Mike Slive announced that the league will distribute approximately $289.4 million among its 14 schools. This will be the most distributed in SEC history.
That's around $20.7 million for each school, which is about $400,000 more than the 12 SEC schools -- not counting Missouri and Texas A&M -- brought in last year with a distribution number of $244 million.
That might not sound like a major increase, but when you add two more teams it's still a good amount for each school. Now, that number should only increase with the SEC Network coming in 2014.
But just think about how much money the league is bringing in. The SEC will distribute more than $289 million among its schools. Back in 1980, the SEC distributed only $4.1 million and didn't cross $100 million until 2003 ($101.9 million).
And more money is coming for the league in the future. It's a big-boy league with big-time money all around.
