I'll just bet they do! That's one of that things I love about this thread, it's a living Wayback machine on how we used to live. The growth Florida has seen since the 1950s is astounding!

Dear Sister,
  Just a few lines
what do you think
of this 23 came in
on the stage.  Did
Billie send you any
money?  He said
he did but I didn't
believe him.  Will write
you soon.  Love & best
wishes from Lottie

I wonder if this is the same Rawhide?

It moved as an attraction from Scottsdale down to Chandler.

It must be, the only Rawhide that came up when I goggled it was Rawhide AZ. 

I wish there was more information:

- What was going on in Rawhide that 23 people crammed on the stage to get there?
- That must have been one dreadful ride, and hard on the horses - where did it come from?
- Why did everyone crowd into the street to be in the picture?
- What is the significance of the scene that day?  (That so many were on the stage and that brought some excitement?)
- What was Lottie doing in Rawhide?  From the photo, it doesn't appear there were many women there 
- How long had she been there?

George: All bald people look good in hats.
Elaine: You should have lived in the twenties and thirties. You know, men wore hats all the time then.
George: What a bald paradise that must have been. Nobody knew.

How awesome is that!   I think we must find some photos of the action at the Pink Elephant.  In the mean time, Check out the Lobby:

Wrong thread, I realize, but wasn't sure which of @Rikki Gins threads to put this in. A silent film of a Tokyo street in 1897.



and the same area today:

What a fascinating snippet of film.  Thank you, @Spookcat.  I noticed a bit of drama at the 27 second mark.  Two Japanese youth wrestling over some things (food?) in one of the boy's hands.
