First Saigon Taxi

Admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 02:00:51 +0000

Here is a picture of the very first Saigon Taxi. A 2 cylinder, 12 HP, 1903 Ford Model A.

This photograph was taken in 1911 in Saigon.

I’ve got a lawn mower with more horse power then this Taxi – LOL.

I wonder how fast it went *blazing* through the streets of Saigon.

A lot different from the Taxi’s [...]

Before I get into the meat of this Post, I’d first like to preface it with this: For the past several days I’ve been pre-occupied assisting a very, very, very dear friend who went through a 9 hour surgery this past Tuesday involving the removal of one kidney and repair of two very large abdominal [...]

My Home Town

Admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 05:48:17 +0000

My home town, St. Joseph, MO, is one of the most historically significant places in the country. It was the last major hub before early settlers headed out to expand West. Enriched with beautiful architecture, much of the downtown areas buildings and districts are in the National Register of Historic Places. There are distinct museums [...]

51 Years Ago Today

Admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 02:18:28 +0000

I stepped off the Pam Am plane in a far away place called Saigon. Little did I know then it was the first step of what was to become a life long journey as a Saigon Kid.

That day, so long ago, was my 16th birthday. Little did I know I was about to receive the [...]

Alhambra Theater Saigon – Now Playing: ROCK, ROCK, ROCK

Admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:01:54 +0000

Welcome to Saturday At The Movies with Saigon Kids.

This week we’re at the Alhambra Theater in old Saigon since this movie was made before the Kinh Do Theater was opened.

ROCK, ROCK, ROCK was made in 1956 but it probably would have been 1958 or 1959 before it would have made it to Saigon – [...]

Saigon Kids Home Movies

Admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:01:43 +0000

This is probably a long term project, but I thought I’d plant the seed with you now.

The idea is being kicked around of making a video comprised of old “Home Movies” taken by Saigon Kids’ parents while living in Saigon and Viet-nam back in the good old days of the 50s and 60s.
