Classy ad for a candy bar. Rather studious too. I guess that's how you become a true connoisseur of candy. **snaps fingers ** Milky Way ad, 1920s. 🍫📖

Kindle screenshot of The Blind Tiger by Chris Holcombe.

Book cover for THE BLIND TIGER, the 2nd Hidden Gotham Novel as shown on an iPad. A man in a tuxedo sits in the middle of a smoky room while the shadow of a flapper dances behind his left shoulder and a gangster’s face half-hidden by a fedora glares at him over his right shoulder. Tendrils of smoke surround the book’s title.

Behind the iPad is a sparkly gold table cloth. A barber’s straight razor, which represents the opening scene of the book, rests in the lower right corner.

Speaking of hot springs and old-time bathhouses, here's some #MonochromeMonday action of one of the remaining bathhouses in Hot Springs.

Rising in the heart of Hot Springs, Arkansas, Quapaw Baths & Spa opened its doors in 1922, built in the striking Spanish Colonial Revival style that can still be seen today. Named after the Quapaw tribe—original stewards of this land—it stands on the historic site of the Horseshoe and Magnesia bathhouses. Today, Quapaw Baths & Spa invites you to experience a tradition of wellness that spans centuries.
