YouTube videos on the history of the photo booth

Photo booths are making a comeback. The machine was introduced in 1925 by Anatol Josepho, an inventor from Tomsk, Russia, who had immigrated to the U.S., said Maxim Sverdlov, a photo booth maker. Placed near Times Square, a prototype became an overnight sensation. http://www.nytimes.com/card/2025/08…

Instagram post on China Doll (old Baltimore restaurant)

I remember the China Doll restaurant on the 400 block of Park Avenue in Baltimore. I ate there at least once. When I moved to Baltimore in 1976, Chinese restaurants like China Doll served chow mein and chop suey. The first Szechuan restaurant I can recall was Szechuan in Federal Hill. Then there was Uncle Lee’s on Greenmount Avenue. These two restaurants were a revelation.
