One of the great aspects of the SPA, if you took a modern day black n white photo essay, a good many of the pictures would still look the same.

The Bijou (pic 56), early 1990s. I have some "vague" memories of that place.

Early 1980s. Last time I remember being out there was the 1982 Travers.

I don't think the tank top was appropriate, but your jeans rock Dave.

Come on Mike. It was all about showing off the "guns" back in the day.

And yes, the acid wash did rock.
