Oh, it's still there but it's set back from the street on a wholly unremarkable building, on the site where B's guest house once stood, the main occupant now being Bloomberg News. ...Originally posted by Alain Maréchal View Post ... and if you didn't know it was there you would miss it.

The obvious place for a Bruckner plaque is at the RAH but I suspect there may be some silly law/regulation in place which prevented such a logical move.Comment
