Are there any recent pics, Wanderer, Pat, or anyone else? Would be interesting to see some. What sites are they on?

I have a Micromax. They were made in the 1930's. I am looking for another one, and a Speedomax from the same era. If anybody ever comes across one, I will take it.

this place is awesome

Very nice Mama...There are a quite a few poetic people hanging around here, aren't there?! Motts creativity just naturally inspires folks,
I guess....It's good to be da king!

I'd lay 10 bucks that same kind of tile is in an old "saloon" in Illinois as my dad used to say. It's in the ladies restroom. When I was a kid, I even saw it being put in. It was fascinating (as a kid)!

Imagine if this place had not been allowed to rot, what a tragic waste. Actually it seems a fitting metaphor for this fucking greed~addled USA.

my exact reaction to this photo? "mmmmm" Thanks for another beautiful black and white, Motts, my friend.

looks like I may have to do a shimmy to get a back view of the old girl progress ruins my fun but the folks in Bennett Commons will surely see a surge in INVADERS - not a hint for anyone- will try download new pics on Picasaweb {?}

Fence, huh? Wonder when that started. Who knows what happens Oct. 1? Maybe nothing. Seems that Halcyon is tearing itself down nevertheless. Interesting reading Pat and Wanderer.

Hey this shot is so cool,as the grafitti on the walls could be the tattoos of your life that have lead you into the light of the after.What you think guys?

is it mindless to put up the fence up so soon to a supposed demo ? guess - I"ll see soon enuff - how close is the fence to the building ? I do believe the walls of Jericho came down faster -------

I was a tile contractor here in Seattle, anyway I get to a job in Capitol Hill- the gayyest part of this shit-town, and yes, some jack-ass had drawn phallic images on the windows, with shit, and I'm talking 10' high in 2 units, that must have taken a LOT of Taco Bell Chalupa!

Ever heard "In Old Yellowcake" by Rasputina..?

the village has begun to put up a fence around the bennett college property. it will just take longer than they expected, but will probably be done before the stated Oct 1 demo date.

i would still bet any amount of money that nothing is going to happen here oct 1

I´m from Germany too. There´s no reason for us to draw the Hakenkreutz, even in locations like that, for we all hate it and have the deepest respect for those who fell in WWII. I would have suggested a crossed out Hakenkreutz here, that´d be more like us!
