@kevinforsyth Yup...that's the one...double checked online, that light fixture in the stairwell looks to be the same as from the mid-90s (and likely earlier than that)

From MAC Record 5/12/1922...fun little piece by Pete Bancroft and Max Gardner about their road trip back to MAC (think prequel to Dude, Where's my car?). Favorite line: "On account of the great distance to travel (3 miles) and the road (Michigan) they decided to start at 3am."
