Gabi has been posting some really awesome sketches and I especially loved the House That Got Away feature. Also check out his Fairview Home sketch (I profiled the homes here) and the Minor Ave homes (which were what Jonathan Hanlon was actually writing in about). Give Gabi’s blog a look — you’ ll be impressed.

In the past we’ve explored Vintage Vegas and Chicag-ey. Now I want to draw your attention to Doug Dawgz Blog covering vintage Oklahoma City. Where Didi and I post piecemeal, Doug lays down the epic posts. Case in point: this stockyard post. Check it out and don’t be afraid to add it to your bookmarks. Here are two panoramic views of Oklahoma City from 1910. Oh and Doug, no bad blood with your city stealing our Sonics away. Seriously.

As he writes on his site, the 1950′s are considered “old” in Las Vegas. Jack is a realtor who has helped people find vintage (and other) housing in Vegas for the past 17 years. There’s also a great feature on the blog highlighting the worst MLS listing photographs and is it hilarious. Didi also posted regarding this dolphin shower curtain shot that had me in stiches. Just awesome. Give Jack’s Blog a click. And just to illustrate how young Vegas is, take a look at this city panorama from 1910. In 1911, the city had just 800 residents. That’s some serious growth in a relatively short amount of time.

Give it a read, it’s a nice chance to step out of Seattle for a bit and explore the history of another great city. Be sure to read her post on Suicide Secrets Of The Stevens Hotel — reminds me of the Stephen King movie I just saw called 1408. I’m thinking the Your History feature is a good way to find out about other parts of the US of A, so let’ s keep thi s as a regular thing. And now for a Chicago themed visual.
