There Are Places I (Don't) Remember


Promo pamphlet from UK trip in '87. Encountered during an archive dive while looking for something else.

Of course this seems like a must-see attraction for any fan of the famous Liverpudlians, and we certainly qualify. However, it turns out Beatle City did not exist when we were there in 1987. It opened in 1984 and operated at a loss for a couple of years before closing down. It was replaced by The Beatles Story Museum located a few blocks away on the waterfront. 
 
 
This begs the question as to how/where TSG acquired a promo pamphlet for an attraction that had been closed for over a year.  We're afraid this will remain an mystery that even Robert Stack could not solve.

It has come to our attention that there is another Willard Biscuit out there on the interwebs.

Don't be fooled, we all know who coaxed the Grump celebrity out of retirement back in 2007
