I know someone who lives the second building in from Hampton on Loran. I love that he can see the Buder from a side window, so gave him a black & white shot that I took of it. How lucky of you to grow up with it! Hey there, George! I know someone who lives the second building in from Hampton on Loran.

I mentioned that my mom and dad spent their wedding night at the former Bel Air Motel on Euclid 50 years ago, and saw you again at an event in Clayton. I grew up on Loran Ave., the street across Hampton right outside the west entrance of the former Buder Library. A grade school friend of mine who has since passed lived in one of the houses alongside the library which actually is Loran also although it appears to be Eichelberger. Check it out next time you're in that area--one of those quirky things that has always intrigued me. Good 70's grade school and 80's high school library memories. I have only been in the building once since it's been a music store and that was close to ten years ago. Just FYI the room at the top of the stairs (inside) was used as a film room. I hope the Calder-like mobile is still hanging from the lobby ceiling. I'm certain it was called "Pomegranate". There use to be a plaque on the lobby wall indicating the mobile. Now I have a need to get back inside that building! Have a Happy Holiday, Toby. Hi Toby,

But considering the time period of origin, I'm sure you could somehow orient the camera to give the illusion of a gen-u-wine UFO ! I pass that south city place all the time on the way to either Pueblo Solis or Onesto. Great post as usual. Happy Holiday, Toby.
