Building name

Does the building that the clock was atop have a name? I know it housed Louie Louie's before Bellbottoms, but was it a Barber's building before that? --Wheresdib 13:28, 26 October 2006 (PDT)

  • I've updated the page from a very informative Birmingham Weekly article. --Dystopos 08:27, 27 October 2006 (PDT)
  • Wow, that BW article is indeed very informative! I wish we could steal those pictures, maybe for a separate article on the Shepherd-Sloss building. --Wheresdib 08:37, 27 October 2006 (PDT)
  • I'm guessing they came from BPL archives. I'm starting to consider the feasibility of a category of images on BhamWiki that we have permission to display, but that aren't available under the same license as our text. Until I figure that out, I can't approach archives. On the plus side, they seem to be digitizing more and more of their holdings these days, so at least there's the prospect of linking (with some ridiculously long URL) to their copy. --Dystopos 09:01, 27 October 2006 (PDT)

4:20

The picture I found on toadgold.com and used for the Bell Bottoms article shows the time as 5:18 or so on December 31, 1999. --Wheresdib 12:21, 6 March 2010 (PST)
