Two long-forgotten things - a Kodak photo booth and a Fiat 850.

In my area a couple of old Fotomats are now drive-thru cigarette stands

Thanks for posting that picture!

When we bought our farm, the previous owner had towed an old Fotomat on the property and used it as a booth to serve chicken dinners when his church met here.

We have since re-roofed it, painted it, cleaned it up, and we use it as a little shop to sell fleece from our alpacas. It’s actually quite cute and has lots of window space.

The daggone thing was built to last...it will probably still be here after they drop The Big One...
