The summer edition (Vol. 26, issue 2) of "The Mainstreeter" has an article on the P&L. The article includes several photos of the late Dr. Phil Hastings...
Yes! a great issue of Mainstreeter. The P&L article was tops, as was its illustration, mostly wonderful Phil Hastings shots from the days when no one really...
Thanks for the heads up, Bill. I'll have to order this issue. I spent the day today down along the P&L and was surprised at all the car storage they're doing....
