This is the last, I believe for now, of Frank Shaw’s shots on the Wallingford Peninsula in early February, 1974. And it is a wonderful one, I think. There between the couple is another symbol of the time, the great Grandma Cookies neon roof-top sign at the northeast corner of 34th Street and Wallingford Avenue. Once-upon-time Seattle’s dada-novelist Tom Robbins considered it one of our great local landmarks, a ready-made seen from far across the lake and over the Gas Works too.
