It's a
'58 Pontiac -- I sold it years ago ! The hamburger was foul, but the carhop was ginchy . . .
All that footage, and not a single image of a Lautner or an Armet & Davis Googie's . . .
Are you down yet, Mark ? Ensconced in an airport bar, somewhere ? Don't fall off . . . !

Oh you are so right, SDR!
It's a Pontiac. And I have arrived in the gloomy Midwest..staying with my parents, who live in a poorly decorated, but lovely home. The bar is well stocked. There are birthday cards everywhere (my father's 80th). I'll try to take a picture later.
Best,
Mark.
ps I understand that the place is for sale...oh!

drats
missed the snappies!
Chicago, correct?

Hi Waffle.
Actually about an hour..plus out of the city. Perhaps when the old gal passes out...I'll repost them. She does like her privacy. She's strange, but quite fashionable. I don't know what to think.

ps possibly even a spappy of the old gal passed out..hahahahaha. Now we're off to the club for dinner.

I grew up
in that area, just north, Evanston. Know the area well. Some amazing properties out there, MCM, Victorian, you name it, and of course Chicago is an architecture paradise.

Hey!
Where, if you don't mind me asking? Don't answer if you do. I grew up in Roscoe, 90 miles NW of Chicago just off 90 before you pass over into Wisconsin, the land of cheese.
If you were in band in your tender years, our paths may have crossed.

Waffle,Did you hear the...
Waffle,
Did you hear the news about Goldberg's Prentice Women's Hospital, in Evanston? Northwestern desperately wants to tear it down, and there's been vehement opposition to this from basically anyone who matters in the arts and architecture community. It all came to a head today, when Prentice was granted landmark status by a vote of 9-0. Unfortunately, later in the same meeting, the Landmarks Commission also voted to overturn the landmark status (by a vote of 8-1) that they'd just created, so that Northwestern could tear it down. Brilliant, right?
Oy.
The meeting was "live-facebooked" on The "Save Prentice" facebook page (link below). It's interesting (and depressing) to see how it all played out...
