Random Beadle stuff

[MrX]

If you get brave and find yourself hanging out at the thrift shop at 7th Ave and Indian School, which is a Beadle designed building that used to be a Copenhagen, look closely at the wall art and you will see the profile of Al Beadle.


Another beauty that doesn't exist anymore:

Whoah, that's crazy. Compare to the symbolic cast-concrete self-portrait by Howard Madole, who claims that he and Al Beadle were "The Gold Dust Twins".

(Paradise Gardens was on Gold Dust?!?!)



Stuff like this really makes me wonder what was going on.

Thanks X- You rock!

BTW- Met a guy who works for Woosley- said he pretty much built your home!
Then I started humping his leg.

[MrX]

JC, if I am reading you correctly, you seem to imply that my house was built by mere mortals and not by supernatural architectural forces.

[JC]

X,
I apologize for my insolence.

I offer a noguchi table and a barcelona chair for my cheekiness.

stay tuned

[JC]

Yes.
I am captivated.

"Stay tuned" gave me 9 different emotions.

[MrX]

Allow me to introduce the talented artist who did the renderings for Al Beadle's designs, Mr. Wayne Chaney. Mr. Chaney also designed the original entrance to Paradise Gardens that has long since been torn down.

I would have to ask Nancy Beadle, but yeah, sure, I'll look into it! Wouldn't want to step on any toes for intellectual property.
