Hi Toad,
well, my apartment was within viewing distance - if their hadn't been a
small hi-rise in the way - to the left of the Pier and the building who's
name I can't recall, but is something of a Landmark; looking towards the
beach, and my place of work was about two miles due South - in a "converted"
Town House in modern parlance - that was in 1980-82. Good Times!
