This was in 2004. The business had already closed by this time. There’s a good aerial shot of this complex in its heyday in the “Wings Over Kingsport” second edition by Dick Alvey. I interviewed him once when I had a talk show on a little station in Kingsport. He was a pleasant guy. He gladly gave me permission to use a shot of Broad Street he’d taken from the upper window of the train station tower back in 1939. I worked up a (not very good) ink drawing from it. Made prints. Sold some.+
