What a treasure! Thanks for sharing this, Tek. Oh, how I would love to see that first-hand. Absolutely fascinating! History frozen in time. The contrast with the cyber world is the coolest thing!

That is fabulous! It's a treasure and a good thing those walls have never been changed. I like the text added to the pics.

Wish there was more of the rules! It's easy to read the fifth line ... "If you wish to get intoxicated, do so on the job."

Thanks, Tek_Freek! That's a unique internet hub!

I can hear the voices, the music, and feel the vibes of those who walked before us.

I read this earlier on today and this is REALLY amazing! I remember back when I was a newspaper delivery boy, I had some newspapers dating back a few years after I left the job. One that I kept (but now lost) was when Mark Mcgwire hit his 60th home run or whatever to break the record.

I still have the local paper that I found in my mothers house from the day after Kennedy was assassinated.
