Landmarks The "Ask Vance" 2011 Calendar — Almost Ready!
Posted by Vance Lauderdale on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 11:59 AM
Well, the new one is almost ready — it's at the printer as we speak. So get ready for it — more than 100 eye-popping, never-seen-before images of Memphis people and places.
The 2011 version is packed with old photographs, postcards, booklets, programs, advertisements, and other images: the Wonder City Restaurant, Ollie's Trolley, Jockey Club Face Powder, roller-skating bears (yes, BEARS), the Ditty-Wah-Ditty Tourist Court, Maywood Beach, Sacred Heart High School, Helen of Memphis, and lots more.
Plus, two whole pages of photos devoted to Clarence Saunders' Keedoozle stores and Fred Smith's Toddle House restaurants.
Look in the October issue of Memphis magazine for the order form to order a copy for yourself or your friends (and get a subscription to the magazine when you do so.) You'll be able to order them online too; be patient.
But quantities are limited, so don't wait until the last minute.
This lovely fire-twirling lady (above) is just one of the images on the cover. You'll have to buy the calendar to find out who she is.

Not quite what I had in mind for a calendar with "Hot Babes" but I think she enticed me to buy one as soon as they are available online. And maybe I might even subscribe to Memphis Magazine rather than going to the Proctologist every month just so I can read it in the waiting room. That will be a relief but I think he has grown attached to me ...

My Vance calendar is over my work desk, where I can look at it all day long, every day!
If you just stare at it all day long, how do you get any work done? It's not one of those "Hidden Pictures" things (though we did consider that, along with a scratch 'n' sniff version).
