Lileks is likely the [cultural/historical/???] equivalent to our esteemed Mr. G. Always worth a read.

That brings back memories of my childhood. I kept several 3 pound coffee cans filled with matchbooks. I don't recall what happened to them.

lileks.com... Oh, there's a timesuck. Thanks! Quite an amazing collection of daily ordinariness from other eras.

I too collected a few matchbooks, also long gone. though I have an unused Chrysler K-car cover here somewhere... It will be available some day.
