NYC Snapshots – Vintage Fashion, Restaurant China, the old Empire Diner & More

The Old Empire Diner now The Highliner April 2012 RetroRoadmap

This wasn’t an official research trip up to NYC for Retro Roadmap, but more of a “catch up with a pal I’ve known since junior high school and tromp around the city” type of day. But of course we saw some Retro Roadmap worthy sights on a beautiful sunny day in New York, so I [...]

Retro Roadmap World Edition – Ireland

Savoy Theatre marquee Cork Ireland

I had totally planned on being “off the grid” as far as Retro Roadmap goes when we spent a week in Ireland, but I could not help but gravitate towards the Vintage Aesthetic I Love So Much as we traveresed the green countryside. That being said, if you factor in that we had done NO [...]

We invited a bunch of pals over to the Hacienda last night for an impromptu vintage slide show and we all had such a good time that I wanted to write about it to encourage you to dig out your own (or someone else’s) slides, and do it yourself! Our slideshow was prompted by some [...]

It’s a 1970s Slideshow at The Hacienda Tonight!

Mod Betty doesn’t need much of an excuse to invite folks over, so “hey I found some slides on someone’s trash heap – wanna watch ‘em?!” works for me! Can’t wait to use some of my vintage serving pieces – especially the ones that don’t get used at the holidays or our annual luau. AND [...]

I’ve Got the “Technical Difficulties” Blues

Dear Retro Roadmap Readers, The  Technical Difficulties that have been happening lately with the Retro Roadmap site are really bumming me out, and I feel like I should apologize to you guys.  Sometimes I don’t even know they’re happening, until a kind reader heps me to the fact that the site is down, or the [...]
