We moved to the area in late 48 and my aunt worked there when the building was completed in 1950? The new tower, big one, was put up later in the late 50s. I remember seeing the flag the day after Tony did the honors. We use to go down and watch the news live, they used the same studio they used for the Saturday night Barn Dance program.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814836881782619245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23936398.post-71946054823877499442011-12-13T19:41:16.011+00:002011-12-13T19:41:16.011+00:00Jim, I've read somewhere recently, perhaps in ...Jim, I've read somewhere recently, perhaps in this blog, that the WBAP tower went up in 1948. The blog contains Tony Brogdon's own story of climbing it to put up the EHHS flag. I think one or two of our '63 class fathers worked at WBAP.Gushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743830912124085924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23936398.post-84195983173144124302011-12-12T18:52:35.400+00:002011-12-12T18:52:35.400+00:00Great memories.

In IMAGES OF AMERICA ARLINGTON there is a picture of the interurban in 1909. Of course it ran by the "Top O Hill Terrace" gambleing palor and on out to Arlington Downs for horse and car races. I don't know if it went all the way to Dallas or not. Do any Handly folks remember the "Krinbuell's" liquior and applicance store in that row of stores in the picture ? It was 3 or 4 stores East of Handly Dr and E. Lancaster traffic light. My grandfater (a lawyer) and Mr K were good friends. It was good to hear the story about Lake Erie, I remember the original electric plants but never crossed over to see them until Lake Arlington was being built along with the new plants. Do any of the Meadowbrooker's remember when WBAP put their TV tower up ? Thanks Gus for the good info.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814836881782619245noreply@blogger.com
