You know what, Stalker? They don't need to be generic. Old pictures of people's hometown is a good idea. There are a lot of unique things in each of the places Tastyspleen's posters live, that won't be found elsewhere.

Is that your hometown, Duke? Which one is you?

I know that this photo has been circulating for quite some time, but it really happened. Pretty interesting:

The Gare Montparnasse became famous for a derailment on 22 October 1895 of the Granville-Paris Express that overran the buffer stop. The engine careened across almost 30 metres (98 ft) of the station concourse, crashed through a 60-centimetre (24 in) thick wall, shot across a terrace and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 10 metres (33 ft) below, where it stood on its nose.

A "sign" of the times. This certainly wouldn't happen today. I doubt that any offense was meant. Billboard 1938.
