I like the two almost obsolete communications methods on the right - a mailbox and a telephone booth.

I was going to point those out also.  There is still a telephone booth standing in my town but it hasn't had a phone in it for years. Plus the city fathers got rid of parking meters a long time ago.

Are we allowed to consider the fact that Pop and Mom are having a 'fun' time?

It says “Pop’s in bad with Mom”. Not bed.
Are we having fun yet?

Quite a well known place back in the day, but gone now.

In its heyday, college football teams in town to play LSU roamed its halls, swam in its pool, and reportedly made off with its linens. Starting in 1949, casts and crews of films shot on location stayed there—including Clark Gable, Orson Welles, John Wayne, Paul Newman, Faye Dunaway, Jane Fonda, and Richard Pryor.

Belgians are mostly either French speaking Walloons, or Dutch speaking Flemish...

Some of the best beers! Is it happy hour yet?
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I always thought the language of Belgium should be Belch.
Merry Christmas - Nice things, and posts, are nicer than nasty things.
