It's from an old roll of 645 format film I found in the Commonwealth Times darkroom when it was cleaned out in 2005. I decided to develop the film and see what was on it; it looks like graduation pictures from the late '80s or early '90s.

Definitely not the best place for class.

When I lived on the 3rd floor of the BSU they were 2 Edwardian row houses that looked like Edwardian row houses. Inside there was a door cut between the two parlors. I spent way too many hours of my freshman year playing pool on the second floor parlor of the building on the right. That BSU helped me keep my head on straight during those early 70s days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577508041560697152.post-71492553260165232212013-03-20T22:01:51.488-04:002013-03-20T22:01:51.488-04:00I never saw the inside of that building, I'll ...I never saw the inside of that building, I'll take your word for it. Always thought it looked kind of cool from the outside. And I always thought it was odd that the front faced the alley.Vintage Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253548945680329134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577508041560697152.post-25870074326918667842013-03-19T23:50:22.376-04:002013-03-19T23:50:22.376-04:00Of all the buildings in this post, the only one I ...Of all the buildings in this post, the only one I don't miss is the education annex...that place was creepy.
