It was 1982. I had literally JUST gotten my drivers license an hour earlier. I figured I'd have a celebratory lunch at Hamburger Heaven, just off Worth Ave. And when I left the restaurant, I found a present on my windshield.
But that has nothing whatsoever to do with Lange -- just my own first association to Worth Avenue.
Great pics and report! You're lucky to have it in your area. I hope to visit it sometime in 2013.
