Love these displays from the past!:ThmbUp:

CD was on my bucket list and was accomplished at the Breeder's 1.5 years ago. I was struck by the fact that the front of the old barn hasn't changed much- except for the prices.:rolleyes: And the field- 9 only?

I would assume that black punters were segregated to some areas, as I didn't glimpse many in the pix.

I assume the little roadside bar I spotted on the route in and out was selling Beer at 8:00 a.m. in 1955!;)

Very cool.
