Tuesday's cartoon from Harry Bliss is a perfect segue to the latest episode of the Blumer's Bakery saga.

Remember Par Tee Miniature Golf?  We'll drive by it on our eastbound tour of University Avenue that begins on the exit from Washington Street and ends at 70th Street.   First we need to buckle up and get familiar with the dashboard.  



Clicking on the arrow at the left allows you to stop and go. Clicking on the gear image on the right allows you to select a speed.  I like 0.5


OK?  Click HERE and enjoy.  When you get to the end, the video may automatically send you on a return trip back to Mission Hills.



Douglas Brant ’70 died on July 4, 2020.  Doug lived across from me on West Falls View Drive and attended Blessed Sacrament, Horace Mann and Crawford.  I recall many visits to the Helix theater for movies with Doug around 1965-66.  We liked slot cars back then too.  He was the fastest guy on the block running as well.  One guy down the street said he could run so fast because he had his own gasoline (Douglas gas stations) -- John Hermes ’70
