The place opened a couple months before I was born...that means it's 60
years old as we speak.
It was a regular lunch hour spot for countless employees of the 'Mother
Corpse' from the time I started working in December of '71 until I
retired December '03...and beyond that.
Actually a cameraman and producer took me down there for a goodbye
lunch and the owners son presented me with a Midtown Tavern long sleeve
nylon top.
I'll have to get down with my Canon G10 and get a few snapshots real
soon.

Did you mean "Mother Corps"? The other way sounds like a bad horror
flick.

No, Mother Corpse seems to be more accurate.
Since the '80s there has been constant downsizing, layoffs etc......
some due to technology change from film to videotape.. but always
handwringing and crying from Sr Management that the billion dollars they
get from the taxpayer plus advertising revenues are never enough.
Why can't anyone live within their means these days?

Gotta be able to afford multi million dollar bonuses for the execs, don't
you know?



They would get their bonuses...but only a fraction of what the private
companies hand out.



That might explain why they had poor executives and employees who spent
all of their time whining about how bad the company is.
