@achewood The bus is crossing Klickitat St., home of Ramona Quimby. It's pretty swank these days. No sign of Nosmo King.

Smokin' Joe has gone out
« on: November 08, 2011, 08:31:03 pm »
The first man to beat Ali has died from cancer at 67.

Quote from: wiki
With a worldwide television audience, and an in-house audience that included luminaries such as Frank Sinatra (as a photographer for Life magazine to get a ringside seat), comedian Woody Allen, singer Diana Ross, and actors Dustin Hoffman and Burt Lancaster (who served as "color commentator" with fight announcer Don Dunphy), the two undefeated heavyweights met in the kind of media-frenzied atmosphere not seen since Joe Louis' youth.

That shit is crazy. Ali treated him pretty poorly, unbecoming of Ali, but I guess they made up in the end.
