1st I've heard of the Chevrolet Sports Department, it's inception began in April 1968, and it ran up to 1976 during the Olympics. Also, I've never heard of the Sports Recreation Department, both were marketing phrases more than they were outfits at GM.

Here are all the pages of the 1969 Chevrolet Sports Department brochure: http://vintagecarsamerica.com/p/503/vintage-cars-chevrolet-brochures-1969-sports-department-sc-64/ The Ford marketing was known as the Performance Clinic, and the Dodge and Plymouth marketing was the Scat Pack Club and the Rapid Transit System, but until today, I don't think I'd ever heard of the Chevrolet Sports Department  http://www.thejumpingfrog.com/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=1419443 http://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?s=733a1a780625e259db09c84553674542&t=106655&page=2 http://www.hotrod.com/articles/super-rare-supercar-1969-chevrolet-camaro-ss396-sports-375-hp-champagne-metallic-paint/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/stiffspeed/permalink/1418730724940206/ https://azure.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/NOS-1969-Chevrolet-Showroom-poster-featuring-the-Sports-Department-Corvette-and-Camaro-163264 http://www.sportssrc.com/sports/chevrolet-sports-department-sign-fe0fd3.html htt...

Makes my day to know they could goof around a bit while making the movie Now I'm told, and found confirmation, that it's a photo shop  https://geektyrant.com/news/2011/7/28/joker-kickflips-batman-on-the-dark-knight-set.html Why do people just go ahead and wreck my day? I stated clearly that this image made my day. Good grief. Tell people you want a job blogging, all you get is crickets chirping in the lonely emptiness of the blogosphere. Tell people you need answers to who did what when with a sidecar... ditto. Nada. But mention that your day was brought to the light, warm, and fuzzy side of goodness, and they throw a monkey wrench in your gears.

Annie Oakley had a bicycle! Annie Oakley could ride her bike no-handed while shooting at targets

Image
She designed her riding costume herself; hooking her skirt to her leggings so it wouldn’t ride up as she pedaled her bike with both hands on her rifle shooting targets. Her first wheel was a 35 pound woman’s “Premier” bicycle that she bought in Glasgow. The press began calling her the “Little Cycling Sure Shot.” She took to riding enthusiastically – riding errands in London, touring in the morning when she had the time, and planning tricks for her show that would incorporate her bike. http://www.timidfutures.com/2013/03/world-fair-wednesday-buffalo-bills-wild-west-show-chicago-1893/ http://murdochmysteriesfans.proboards.com/thread/1377/bicycles-wheelmen-wheelwomen-day

How much is a parking lot worth? In Santa Monica? What about if a celeb super star owned it last? Now, is it worth less when you learn Bill Cosby is selling it? I doubt it.

whatever gets built there in the future, the city has already painted all the curbs around it red. So, the next thing to get built there? Will have maximum visibility from the roads near it That property is currently a parking lot at the corner of Marine Street and Main, and is on the market for $5.7 million. The lot is 6,024 square feet and has the potential for a 4,018-square-foot building. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bill-cosby-is-shedding-tens-millions-la-real-estate-1106673
