    okay-----for you kids that liketa squander finite ressourses on just DRIVING and DRIVING and DRIVING ta see some odd-looking rock formation out in the middle o' nowhere, i would recommend Heart Mountain in Why-oming, Land O Cheney. (see photo) But yeah---it is easpecially worth noting that the white man stole it from the Red Man and also the Brown Man, then used the area to build a Concentration Camp for Yellow Men, just as those Nazis did, about the same time. See? Aren't the Whites terrible? Hope that helps you some.

    Bobby you would probably like the stigmatized MGM Grand Hotel property site that burned and killed several in 1980. This is the obituary of Diane Pangburn. I worked with her, stayed in her apartment while she went on a trip, knew her as an acquaintance. She was pretty and dumb (but maybe that was just naivety.) Like for instance, she went "on a job interview" with our boss at night in his car. Hmmmm.....an interview site that is not typical. He didn't do anything but that just is not smart on her part.

    We rather rudely referred to her as "Miss World" at work since she had been in that beauty pageant.

    okay---i telll you what---if i ever go outa Vegas to try out an all-ya-can-eat smorgasbord, i will stay at the former MGM grand, where the tragedy occurred. In fact, i'll even request the zact room Miss World was staying in, when she died of smoke inhalation. Yup. But yeah---thanks for the information. On another topic related to drive-n-eat, a couple times a year they have an auto parts swap meet on HWY 291 in Independence, mo. It's not very far, maybe a coupla miles, from TIMS's Pizza Place! So yeah---I'll prolly stop there. Will take a photo of my food, too, and post it here for you kids. Yup. Thankk Mee.

    okay-----i found this interesting news article from a small-town IWAH newspaper. (see photo). But yeah---a group of people were on the 24th-floor foyer, when they were overcome by smoke inhalation from burning materials clear down on the first floor(where the fire was), that traveled up the ventilation system and other passageways. Yup.

    If I recall correctly T. Spagnolia was her boss/boyfriend. By the time she died she had moved on from our workplace.

    okay---it wasn't the first time Spagnola had been in the news, regarding a tragedy. (see photo). But yeah---he is remembered for one of IWAH's Cold Cases. Yup. Hope that helps you some. Edited to add: in case you can't read it, he and a buddy spotted the body of a murdered man floating in the river, in 1954
