As a staff, we haven’t always been stationed in the Chase building downtown. In fact, our first magazine office was in North Park at Imig Manor, what is now the Lafayette Hotel. Our phone number in those days was “Woodcrest 2101.” In celebration of our upcoming 65th Anniversary issue (on newsstands September 24), today we’re looking back at all our offices, including those for Point Magazine, which merged with ours in the 1950s. (Now you know!)
