That's a nice building DR JANE.

So many Chinese symbols on the buildings now....

Yes, DR John G, I'm planning some photos when I get the table all together tomorrow.

I've never seen that Coffee Dan's at Sunset and Vine (next to Wallich's Music City)!  It was gone by the time I was going to the Huntington Hartford in 1961.  Great photo, though.  And let's post all those kinds of photo finds.

Lunchtime!  Then I'm going to bake cupcakes for my book group.  They're coming here tomorrow evening to discuss THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB and I'm serving things like they would have had at their "launch watch parties."  It's not a meal event, so we're just having layered Jello (red, white, & blue, of course) and cupcakes stuck with little American flags.

Cute.  Have fun.  Did you enjoy the books?

Thanks.  From the outside it looked like a house when my father was there.  I often walked next door to the drug store to pick up orders.  We would call all of our orders in and my father would pick them up before leaving work, very convenient.

From Bruce:
And here is what has become of my father's restaurant at 3474 W. 8th Street - should be a head on view of "grand opening" - at least they've cleaned it up - I may have to go down there and check it out :)  If you drag the view to the right looking west you'll see a corner yellow building next to a red building - that whole thing was called Carl's Market - there's a beauty salon next to the restaurant - that was a barber shop, where my father got his haircuts once a week.  If you drag to the left the corner building at the other corner was the drugstore where I bought all my paperback books.

https://www.google.com/maps/@34.057667,-118.306018,3a,75y,181.5h,84t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXbQzv32h53lY3ug0tKF5bw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656


Drag the view to the left corner where the drugstore was and turn right onto Hobart.  You will see the parking lot for the "drugstore".  To the left of that, 809 So Hobart, was my father's office.  It was in a house that he and another doctor converted into a very nice office in 1969.  It was far more attractive than it is today.

To the right  down a couple of blocks on West 8th Street was my father's first office.  I don't remember the address but I'm pretty sure it was on the left just after the fork in the road.   I spent many hours counting pills in the little back room.  My father always took me out to lunch where I had the best Shirley Temples with extra, extra, maraschino cherries. 

Basically, without knowing it, I had a connection to Bruce most of my childhood, yet we never crossed paths until high school.

I have no idea if there were other restaurants to eat in the area.  My father either went to the Kiaru or ate delicious lunches my mother packed for him.

The book brought back a lot of memories of the late '50s and '60s.  Such a different time...

Has anyone here seen the video from Paris of the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower yesterday (Bastille Day)?  They are awesome.

Apropos DR Ron Pulliam's post earlier...

Does anyone know the story of Frank Sinatra's recording of "Strangers in the Night."
What's with the "DOO BEE DOO BEE DOO" section??     ???

I'd read that he sang, "Scoo Bee Doo Bee Doo" at some point and that's how Scooby Doo got his name.

I did a backup last night but I don't know how to connect the backup to this Macbook.  I may take it down to a Mac Shop on West 20th Street and see if they can get it working again.  I need a fucking job so I can afford a new computer.  I don't have the money with these tidily jobs trickling in.

I'm getting closer to needing a new computer.  I had to update several things last night, and I couldn't update a couple because updates are no longer available for Windows XP.
