There ought to have been a bunch of students at a table outside the van, spinning a prize wheel and chatting up passers-by. Hands-on experience in doing a live remote!

I went down Birdseye Road once last year. I had a job interview off of Route 4 and my GPS took me down Birdseye Road. Seems kind of strange that a commercial building with radio towers in the back of it is on a road that is mostly residential houses. Granted I know the towers predate the houses. Boy the people who live there must get MEGA 910 WLAT through the fillings in their teeth. For some reason that street gives me the creeps, especially with the overpass. You don't usually think of an overpass being in a residential neighborhood.
Route 84 ended between Southington and New Britain until sometime in the early seventies. Birdseye Road was the main route to Hartford, the airport and all points north. I don’t recall there being many houses at the time, but they would all have been on Birdseye Road. I’ve always thought that “Radio Park” fit nicely into the area.
When I started working at WRCH in 1982, I often had a great feeling of nostalgia as I turned into the driveway. My father would point out WRCH along the ride and invariably said, “that’s where the good music comes from.” At the time he meant WRCH-AM 910. He and his friends marveled that “FM music” was played on AM. I’m not sure if WRCH-FM was the air at the time.
Radio Park is a beautiful physical plant inside and out. It was—and still would be--a great place for a radio station.
Also, I see the CSB van quite often in Palm Beach County. The school is on Northlake Blvd, one of the main roads in the county.

I've seen CSB billboards in Charlotte NC on I-85.
I was chief engineer for WLAT for about five years and we surprisingly had only a few issues with RF interference to local phones which were easily remedied.
This website page has a great artists conception image of the proposed building before it was built in the mid-to-late sixties.

This was obviously posted to the wrong thread, but damned if I can figure out what the right one is! ???
