Burgers, Chicken, Shakes and a Creepy Head on a Stick.
Opened in 1959, Mr. Hamburger is still in business. From their website:
“Situated across from the famous downtown Huntsville “Walls” prison unit, Mr. Hamburger has literally been the first taste of freedom for thousands of released inmates waiting for their bus ride out of town. This influence can be seen in the uniquely named burgers fitting the prison theme.”

A Da Vinci Bridge – 15th Century Engineering
Okay 1502 AD is technically the 16th Century, but the engineering was already in existence.

This kid constructed one without notches or connectors, using friction and compression only.

1949 Amusement Park Ride Advert
The Tilt-A-Whirl was the only ride I ever puked on. I was about 6 years old at the time, and it happened here.
See that blurb at the bottom left? The Runyon Cancer Fund is a charity founded in 1946 (named after famed newsman and writer Damon Runyon) and is still in operation over 70 years later.
