I point out:
Do you mean this building?

To my knowledge, it is still there but is now a Camden government
building. The "Nipper" building (Building 17) is still standing as
well, but it now houses condominium apartments. Building 17 was where
nearly all RCA quads were built. I remember seeing TCR-100s being
assembled in that building in 1978.

great food. Walk past the bar to the hidden restaurant in the back.
I hope they are still there.
I say:
Jim's Steaks is on a South Street corner not far from the South
Street Market.

where many Quads were made. We could even take the high speed line
and pop up exactly where they were made. But I wouldn't recommend it.
I agree:
Not a place to be anymore, unfortunately. But here's what I was
doing there back in the summer of 1978:
