This vertical piece of glass that has an "Open" sign on it is located where a newsstand used to be in 1966 on Guadalupe Street, across from the University of Texas. Along with two of my friends, I was standing just to the right of it, when a bullet came past my right ear and killed a man who was in the doorway of the newsstand. It is a memory that I have tried to shake for 52 years now.
I can see why that place would have such strong memories for you.
