Sorry, the mouse scrolling suddenly stopped. And it was a while before I was able to get it working again…

Ah yes, Litchfield Towers. Iirc, I was on the 6th floor of Tower C in 1975-76.

The ‘Towers’ were three circular 20-some story dormatories, A, B,and C. (Alpha Babbo and Comet?) In the 1960’s and 1970’s, the men lived on the lower floors. And to ‘protect’ them, the ladies were on the upper floors.

Of course, the power to the elevators tended to go out with alarming frequency. Which meant that the ladies, basically, had to plan for a whole day in order to minimize how many times they had to climb the 20-some flights of stairs to their room.

I am trying to remember where Frankie Gustines Restaurant was. (Iirc, he actually had 3 restaurants, 2 on Forbes and another on Fifth.) I think that it became Primanti’s back in the late 1970s or early 1980’s.
