I found a photo on Google of a postcard of Johnny Corey's. Pretty cool!! I haven't quite learned how to upload the image. You can see yourselves on Google images.

Stuff like this makes UHub awesome.

Nice note regarding the 1927 permit-less sink installation. And people complain about the permitting process as if it's something new.

Is that you can look up such permits and citations dating back to the 20s online (start here, there's one database for stuff before 2009 and another for stuff after that). At least for the pre-2009 documents, though, if you simply search on an address (if you live in an old house, it's fun to look up the old records), make sure on the search form to check off the "document type" and "date" fields, otherwise, you just get back a long list of checkboxes with no idea what they might be for or when (and even then, as I found out here, the older stuff won't have any info on the results page to help you figure out if calling up the document might be worth it).

And thanks!

Jared Katsiane forwarded a photo he took of the stoop where the front entrance used to be.

Can anyone upload the Johnny Corey's postcard image on Google images for me? What's great is that it show what the inside used to look like!!

Johnny Corey's post card.

It's probably past its copyright date, but I'm reluctant to post something that is on a private for-sale site, just in case, to be honest.

Admitting those days were hazy, but the Turbines video reminds me of Saturday nights Live at Docs/Bat Cave? Sunday night dance?

Following the El along Washington to the Empire (?) or some Deli became the Bohemian Club on Saturdays + great spin

...and south on Mass Ave was Uptown (and maybe another club), part jazz...disco...punk, given the night?

Good times to live in the neighborhood.
