They printed my weekly publication for me and many other things. Were your grandparents Al and Dottie Hall?<br /><br />I have some pictures of Omar Printing on my flickr photo page. Here is one:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan-light/5681277289/<br /><br />Enlarged: <br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan-light/5681277289/sizes/o/in/photostream/<br /><br />You say that the existing library building is the same structure as Omar Printing, but it looks different to me. The old building was mostly larger cement block, not brick, and had diamond shaped bumps all over the outside walls. I'm just curious. I've long wondered if Omar was demolished and replaced by the library, or if the same building was renovated.<br /><br />If you search flickr.com for Omar Printing you will find a dozen or so other photos from those old days. <br /> http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=omar%20printing<br /><br />Best wishes, Alan LightAlan Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664998795778771121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553524270157458069.post-50957549968933276892011-09-03T08:41:53.860-05:002011-09-03T08:41:53.860-05:00This was so fun to read.
