[Alumni-chat] Antiochiana! -- The location of the "68 Cafe!":inYell

[lwollin]

Oops. I think the funeral home on Xenia Ave. was where I lived on a co-op 
job.  I also lived at the "Charles Adams House" off campus during a Fall 
term (I know it was Fall only because I still have a maple leaf in my 
Shakespeare that I picked off the tree in front of my window there some time 
in the '50's).
