    This just in! Built in 1880.

    I would like it to be saved BUT , if you ask anybody under the age of 40 if they know who he was...and if they care about it :# How's the neighborhood?

    I LOVE the architectural Fret Work adornments. I having band-sawed similar Fret Works for my home and cottage. I copied a pattern from an old house towards downtown Wilmington 30+ years ago. I have A LOT of triangular boards with my pattern maybe drawn on them that I've saved for 30 years or so. I had a band saw, sold it, bought a newer one, broke it moving it, but fixed it a year ago. I will cut some new ones soon. That'll be ANOTHER project taken off that old to-do list I'm burning through. :p;)

    Now if it was Snoop Dog's boyhood home... :);) Yea, Snoop Dog could save it himself if it was his, being he's still alive.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    They did the same with Marlon Brando's Omaha home years ago.
    It was on the waterfront, they made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

    Is it portable? Since it's a mini it's got to be right?

    Whoa. I remember the Technics minicomponents -- but ne'er saw a reel to reel deck. I am guessing they were never expressly imported to the US (?).

    @pitdogg2 No, the minicomponents were a thing in the very late 1970s/early 80s. Not meant to be portable, just space-efficient.
    I had one of the lower-end Technics minicomponent cassette decks (dump find) for a while. It was actually pretty darned nice, but I didn't have a need for it, so I gave it away (I think). Maybe I even sold it, but I rather doubt it. :#

    I bought one of these new, Dolby B and DBX. Bought the wired remote too.
    Very low profile. But not their real thin higher end black ones with gold lettering.
    I think I bought it from International Hi-Fi Distibutors in Baltimore.

    My brother still has it.

    I never could understand why they put the TP outside of the stall.
    And you had to stand on the sink to use it !
    Very inconvenient design. 💩

    We've all seen the plethora of pharmaceutical commercials on TV these days, but today I found a pharma ad inside the gatefold of an old album cover. Appropriately, the ad was for an antidepressant inside a blues album.

    That's kinda creepy ...brings back memories of the Billie Holiday story, Lady Sings the Blues

    Holiday had a beautiful voice

    Yes, a little presumptive to think that anyone buying/listening to a blues album is clinically depressed.
