Do You Know Where this Shop Was?
On the end of a roll of black and white negatives, I found this shot of a bike shop somewhere in Martinez or the area surrounding. Does anyone know where this shop was located? I have some more and need to scan them. I will get right on that.... yeah....

Old Time Photos
Crusin the internet... some cool shit. Thanks to Shorpy.com  |
| September 15, 1937. "First of fair sex to obtain motorcycle license in Capital. Although she weighs only 88 pounds -- one-third of the machine she rides, Mrs. Sally Halterman is the first woman to be granted a license to operate a motorcycle in the District of Columbia. She is 27 years old and 4 feet, 11 inches tall. Immediately after receiving her permit, Mrs. Halterman was initiated into the D.C. Motorcycle Club -- the only girl ever to be accorded this honor." |

| 1915. "Baker and O'Brien, transcontinental motorcyclists, at north of Ellipse below White House." Dick O'Brien and Bud Baker were two "Washington high school boys" who made a five-month, 10,000-mile round trip to the West Coast to see the California expositions. Said Dick: "Our experiences will prove mighty interesting when we start to tell them." |
