I've been wanting to get to Ron's store, too, over in Hollywood. I just haven't gotten there, yet. Even just to say hello, and take a look-see.

Margaret seems very gracious and has always replied and answered any messages I have sent to her.




There is actually not much to see at the store.  Plus, he doesn't open every day so check before you go.  Ron is super nice, and if you love posters, he'll love you.

Ron and Margaret are great folks.  I've known them for years and when I'm in LA, I get to live on their couch.  Words cannot express what their house is like.  To wake up in the early am hours and have all the early Unis emerge from the darkness is a sight to behold.  By all means, never, ever turn down an invite.
I'll raise a glass to the illusion but drink to the reality.

No doubt Lynn.
The first time I went there I am not sure how many times I had to be picked up off the floor, simply amazing.
Can't imagine having an invitation to go and not accepting, it's just incredible to see such beautiful pieces all together at once.
You can sit in the living room and stare all day.

I did not - not accept it.  Other things happened and I forgot about it.  Believe it or not, but there are other things in life than posters. 

Or are there?

Of course there are - in fact I think you and I are in agreement about two of those things.
Accepting doesn't mean going that day, but it is certainly something that if you make time for it in your schedule you won't regret it.

Ha, I remember these pictures.  I never made it to his house, though.  He invited me a bunch of times, I talked to Margaret a bunch of times, but I never found the time or energy to make it to the Valley.  Oh well...
