Amazing. It's interesting to note that the Riv building was already covered in the tacky tan siding in 1964.
That's amazing, it's killer how much has changed except for the Riviera and that tall building in the back.
So THAT's the Golden Pheasant! My dad always mentions it when we drive past that corner.
UU--But then it would have been new and modern!
Tonia--I've caught a number of references to the Golden Pheasant; I was glad to see a picture, too.
CWD--This is my favorite intersection in Uptown; I wonder what it will look like in another 45 years.
Do you notice any "consistencies" in those two pictures from when Uptown was an actual place to be or visit? I didn't either.
