The 'real' City State will be abandoned, deserted and possibly gutted--that will be up to the new owners. I will be just 2 blocks away and will report on this "historic" site's next chapter.
Bill Owen wrote:As planned, we closed on the sale and my last act was to change the big sign to say that we had moved. I have driven by the building just a few times since and they have papered the windows and changed the crumbling garage door into a big plywood door.One of the last visitors to the old 'City State' was appropriately Bob Jr and his sons. With all the map signing that we have been doing together, I have gotten to see many of his kids. While I miss the old building and disappointed about what it sold for, it was less of a loss than losing Bob Sr.

After 1978, I wouldn't be surprised if they did some creative recombining to put the leftovers of an earlier print run with later. I'm sorry that I don't have any recollection of this.OTOH I do see Mark Holmer tonight so I'll see if he remembers! He was my fellow wizard during Bob's Tolkien campaign and later Bob's manager.Bill
