Now I am getting ready to leave for a run thru......and then I will be staying in Cloverdale until possibly Monday night, so I may be E & T.

I don't know what kind of computer access I will have. So this may be goodbye for awhile....

"Cloverdale" - sounds like it should be a title of a movie, like Pleasantville.

Maybe a town where every flower is a clover, and if you find a four-leaf clover, your wishes come true, maybe with a fun twist

With an exclamation point, CLOVERDALE! could be a musical

Thanks all for the birthday felicitations!

TOD: My favourite place of childhood, no longer there would be the place I began my book collecting habit in earnest: Bertrand Smith Acres of Books in Cincinnati...five floors of used books.

I loved that shop! There were so many great used book and record places. Even if it's still a shop, I'd bet that Willis Music, which was my heaven in the 1960s and 1970s and source for many vocal scores and selections, is now a shadow of its glory days.

Good morning, all.

I managed to get 8 hours of sleep, a real rarity. Soon, it's off to the Cocktail Conference and an 11 a.m. session on gin. All in the cause of education.

The Orpheum Theater in Seattle.

John G. · « **Reply #46 on:** January 18, 2014, 07:58:08 AM »

TOD: I think the Vogue movie theater in Louisville would top my list. I could see any Ingmar Bergman movie playing or perhaps Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in "The Band Wagon." Even when I watch those on DVD, I'm often transported back to that theater where I first saw them. This is especially true of Bergman's "The Magic Flute," which I would go see on Christmas Day.

Saturday morning greetings! We are expecting more snow, the timing of which will determine whether or not we go to Dayton for our anniversary dinner this evening. It may also keep us from traveling to Lima tomorrow. In 2 months, Fr. Richard has missed more Sundays due to weather than in the previous 4 winters combined.

Thank you for the anniversary wishes, DRs John G, ArnoldMBrockman, ChasSmith, Cillaliz, Vixmom, Elmore, and JRand!

BK,

As I may have mentioned the other day, the only scene from IT'S A MAD (4) WORLD that I would have liked to have seen fully restored (not with stills) is the phone call between Spencer Tracy and Buster Keaton. It explains Keaton's purpose in the picture.

I was in Acres of Books only once, probably not too long before it gave up the ghost. I'd also been in their other store in Long Beach CA a few times.

Across the street, the Ohio Book Store appears to still be alive and - I hope - well. http://www.ohiobookstore.net/

WILLIS MUSIC! Oh, the sadness these memories bring. I first knew the small shop they had in Cleveland, on the lower level of that incredible old downtown arcade. It was quite exciting to eventually get to Cincinnati and go into the mother ship. I remember being so excited to find some original Red Seal Toscanini LPs there one day.

Is that the phone call where Tracy is eating the ice cream? The specifics escaped me over the years. but I always remembered having seen it, which also indicates we saw the movie within the first four weeks -- at the Sheridan, Miami Beach.

DR Elmore, there is still a Willis Music, but most of the stores seem to be in the 'burbs.

In related news, the building housing Hauer Music in Dayton has been purchased by Dayton Metro Library. It's an original Miami-Erie Canal building and will be repurposed for the library's behind-the-scenes operations.

TOD:

I honestly don't know how I'd ever narrow it down to one place or thing. I mourn the loss of so many theaters, book stores, record stores, music stores, eateries of various types...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #58 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:26:28 AM »

DR Ginny, I'm happy to see Willis Music still exists, in whatever form and in whatever locations. And in spite of that grotesquely perky logo. Oy!

It's more than you can say for the Joseph Patelsons and Carl Fischers of the world. Shame, shame, shame.

Ginny · « **Reply #59 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:41:39 AM »

TOD - I mourn the loss of the entire city of Detroit, which was a wonderful place in the '50s and '60s. Specific places include the downtown J. L. Hudson department store which was imploded in 1998 and the Ford Rotunda which, technically, was in Dearborn. It had been Ford Motor Company's exhibit space at the 1934 Chicago World's Fair and figures in my earliest memories. After a remodeling it was opened to the public to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ford on June 16, 1953 - the very day that my family moved to Detroit from Portland, Oregon. The building was adorned like a cake with 50 huge candles. From then on, it was a tradition to go there for the Christmas festival, with displays, performances, and, of course, Santa. The Ford Rotunda burned to the ground on November 9, 1962.
