I used to train there in the late '70s.  A great gym with fantastic atmosphere.  I have not been there in more years than I can recall.

That's far too early for it to be bodybuilder John Brown, but who knows?

Leo had some great physique photographs all over the walls of the gym of the top men of the past and present and there was also a lineup of caricature drawings of long time gym members  up along the ceiling line of one or two of the walls.  Leo was a good man.

A powerlifter named Jack Bostic.  I heard he was a strong dude.  Before my time.  Dead now.

Shannon Brown owns it.  The Chinese laundry guy owns the whole building now.  I hear the rent Shannon is paying is outrageous.  I can't believe it's still there.  Tons of old weights in there.  The old silver dumbbells are great.
