King Kong Needs Directions

Zachary sent in this cool shot that has to be from 1977, seeing as it was the height of “Kong Mania”. He tells me he’s not sure why he’s giving Kong directions in downtown Manhattan but it sure makes for a terrific photo. Hey, “The Song Remains The Same” is playing!

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the wonderful old toy ads, bad fashions and other assorted nostaglia. Plaid Stallions is one of my favorite blogs. To show my appreciation, I've awarded you the "Honest Scrap" blog award. You can read about it on my blog here. Thanks again and may you never run out of old catalogs.

The Empire State Building? Sure, it's just a couple blocks down that way, then off to the right. You can just see the top peeking out over there.

By the way, you look taller in the movies.
