Hey guy's & Gal's.
I have asked in the past what your user names meant. And now I am kind of curious as to what some of your Avatar pics are or mean. I know some are self explanatory so feel free to just ignore the question. But there are some that I have no idea what or why you chose them. I guess I'm just nosey like that.
Thanks for the info. I hope to get some great answers.

The one I currently have is Griffy. It was the logo for Griff's Hamburgers in Tulsa when I was growing up.

mine's simply da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.  I figure mine is self explanitory if you can make it out, just don't know if you can make it out.  I'm sure I'll find something else soon.

Mine is a shot of a Lortondale home from sometime after Sept. 1956 since there's a '57 Chevy wagon in the drive.  I think most all of you know I bought and restored a home in Lortondale last year and love the neighborhood.

There was a Griff's in Sedalia, MO about 10 years ago.  I have no idea if it's still open or not.

According to wiki, here is where they are located.

Closest to me is Albuqerque. Might check it out on my trip to Tulsa in September.
