TW: This is from Neatorama via http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com/. As noted at Neato the thing that stands out is the free for all on Market Street which for those of you have been there know is a main drag in San Francisco. Apparently things like lanes and stoplights etc. did not come along for several more years. Pedestrian casualties were very high even if cars did not zoom quite as fast back then. Just another reminder that the good old days were not so good.

From Economist:
"NO DOUBT you've been wondering, how, in this Great Recession, has the tattoo business been holding up? Lucky for you, your blogger gets press releases, all kinds:
In 1936, Life magazine estimated that approximately 6% of the US population had at least one tattoo. By 1997, U.S. News and World Report stated that “Tattooing is the United State’s 6th fastest growing retail business”. National Geographic reported in the year 2000 that 15% or nearly 40 million Americans had tattoos. By 2006, the Journal of the Academy of Dermatology found that almost one in four Americans between the ages of 18 and 50 were sporting tattoos. Since the numbers have continually grown over the years, the fact is proven: that even in a down-turned economy, people are still spending money on tattoos.
Can't argue with that logic. Tell me more, press release!
Along with the growth of the tattoo industry, tattoo removal is growing just as quickly. According to Dr. Phil Knall of Just Tattoo Removal in Glendale, AZ, about 20% of those who get a tattoo will eventually want it removed.
Among the reasons given for wanting a tattoo removed are, "The name of someone from a previous relationship needs to be removed", and:
With the economy the way it is today and with the difficulty of finding jobs, many candidates have noticed that with all qualifications being the same, the person without the visible tattoo is getting hired'..."

Only In America
From Chris Mathias via Andrew Sullivan:
"You’ve got to love the local news. Only there can a man with a penis tree-sculpture in his yard get a three-minute lead story at 5:30, reported on by entirely straight-faced reporters. There is so much to love: after they slip in a shot of the pine-dick near the beginning, they blur out the wooden member (as if it was actual nudity) for the rest of the clip, or show it at obscure and unintelligible angles. Perhaps even crazier, they get through the entire segment without ever saying the word ‘penis.’"
TW: No comment except the blurring out of a tree stump is pretty remarkable.
