Re: Nickey Building Demolished
A piece of history that is now gone forever. A very, very sad day.

Re: Nickey Building Demolished
I was in that building a few times when I was a teenager.
I bought some hi-performance parts for my car there. I remember the Nickey sign, you could see it from the highway.

Re: Nickey Building Demolished
The local paper did a story when Skips was demolished and I sent the article to Hot Rod magazine and they published it. Sorry I don't remember the year. I wouldn't even know where to start looking for the magazine I saved. I got my name in the story too!

I sent them, from my local paper, the pictures and text and they put together this in their April 82 mag. Had to keep resizing down to post the image, If you want a larger image to read let me know.
