I suspect that we did run into each other. I was there 1972-1977. (Under the well known 5-Year college plan. Actually, when faced with the reality of a career looking at micro-tomed slides of pollywogs, I changed from a Biology major to an Economics major.)

Yes, you are correct, Tower A was Ajax. Do you remember a Stan Finegold? I believe that he lived on the 4th floor of Tower C.

I just did a google maps and it looks like Kings Court is now split between a T-Mobile and a Noodles and Company. So many memories of so much wasted time watching so many terrible movies at Kings Court. David Lawrence Hall generally had so many better movies.

Yup, Frankie Gustines appears to be where the Oakland Primanti’s now is.

Strangely, for some reason, I actually liked the Pitt Cafeteria. Heh, I remember one night I was eating dinner down there and looked up at the ceiling. Someone had removed the top waxed papers from the single slice butter patties and then thrown them onto the ceiling butterside up, where they stuck.

I was an Econ and History major. Still remember those disciples of Milton Friedman like Slessinger. I remember Mark Perlman fondly since he introduced me to Joseph Schumpeter.
