Not Bernard and not Serge,if you look at the banner behind them you should get a clue.

I looked up the 1980 Mr. Britian on musclememory.com to no avail.

Brian Buchanan ??

Does anybody know when The Mecca (Gold's Gym Venice) will close for good???

Latest word I heard is that the local community is petitioning to get the new owners to extend the lease.

Apparently the Gold's Gym membership brings a lot of business to the neighborhood.
