I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay. There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.
This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family. Despite the weird numbering change, this is part of the same batch of slides I have been scanning...not sure what I was trying to do with the numbering...
The first three photos in this set were all processed in August 1966. I couldn't identify the first one but Google's image search did not let me down. This is the "Hurricane Grotto" or the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Key West. It was dedicated on May 25, 1922.

A more modern photo:
The second photo was taken at a motel on Miami Beach. There have been numerous photos from this same place in past sets.
processed August 1966
Guessing at the name a bit but this photo would appear to be of a place called Hukilau or The Hukilau, probably a bar or restaurant somewhere in South Florida. Apparently there have been many places with this name so I'm not sure about this one specifically.
processed August 1966
The last photo was processed in February 1969. I'll let it speak for itself...
processed February 1969

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
