Just to the right of that. In Ames.
Oh and.
Youngest child works in Mudd in the bio dept. -
Cool
The place looks considerably ritzier nowadays than it did when I was there (76 through 88 inclusive, UG, grad & postdoc!).
Photo above was taken a few years back after the memorial symposium for the great glycobiologist (and long time Bio Dep't professor) Saul Roseman.
Roseman was one of the mentors who made me the intensely careful & skeptical scientist that I am -- and I mean that as a great compliment to him!
He was a heck of a scientist.
EDIT: Assuming they're still there (and AFAIK they are), ask your (edit: oops!) youngest to say hi to Cindy & Joan from me!

Yeah well.
Michael's money will do that to a place :-)

indeed :-P

They are sill there.
I'm heading over to Bio later today. I'll pass along greetings Mark. -
^^^ Yeah -- and it's coming our way, too. S'posed to be here midafternoon. Chilly rain right now -- not terribly photogenic

EPIC FAILURE!
Did a bearing job on a 25,000 cubic feet per minute(CFM) power exhaust fan.
To give you perspective on that number, a typical 1,700 sq. ft. house air conditioner will move between 1,400-1,600 CFM
I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE! -
Big Boy pillow blocks like that prefer, in their diet, red grease. At least it looks like it didn't gnaw on the shaft. Fun times !Sal Palooza

My elementary school called Mt. Washington in Eau Claire, WI. It has since been demolished.

It is a shame that such a building was demolished.
Here in New England, such structures are, at least nowadays, often rehabbed & repurposed -- typically as condos.
As an aside, we have good friends in MA who originally hail from Eau Claire. Indeed, one of them, Mike Berg, is the woodworker who built my Duplex and TL speaker cabinets.

Oops ! wrong thread...........carry on.

The town I grew up in demolished a Carnegie library and a marble post office in the 60's, I remember the debate, the ones who claimed it was just as expensive to refurb the old buildings as to build new won out and soon there was a pile of large marble blocks in a pit across the river. They built a new library in place of the Carnegie, but a few years later the City sold it to a bank for expansion and now they have a crummy building housing the library. That same City was convinced by a bunch of exploiters to tear down a whole bunch of historic buildings for a steel building strip "mall" in the 1980's. The City guaranteed the developers 15% profit for fifteen years and now the mall is torn down.

It is absolutely true that renovation virtually always costs more than new construction -- but there are (appear to be?) some for-profit ventures that (ahem) trump the fundamental economics. To wit (I guess), condos in areas that support fairly high-cost housing (e.g., the Boston metro area)
Still, a shame to tear down a Carnegie library building. Our erstwhile neighbor-town (Littleton, MA) restored theirs a few years back -- it houses the town's Historical Society.

Some new lifestyles our photographer has been shooting.

^^^ For the unamplified lifestyle.
Sorry -- I couldn't resist.
The images are very nice.

amplifier is out of the shot along with the other speaker.

good point -- mono's making a comeback, too

I also hear cassettes are coming back... :-)

Yes, quite (on both counts).
Good o' EveAnna "Vanimal" Manley did do some test-marketing of an 8-track reboot, too, of course.

I think Shinola is going to be manufacturing period-authentic paper matchbooks to use as audiophile-grade fine-tuning apparatus for optimal tape-to-head alignment.
