Cover StoryMichael Gartner’s Memories of 715 Locust StreetI first visited the Register and Tribune building in 1941 or 1942, when I was 3 or 4 years old. Afterward, she held my hand tightly as we walked up the street to 715 Locust to meet my father, who worked in the old third-floor newsroom. One afternoon in the 1930s my father slipped across the street to catch a movie at the Orpheum, then on 8th Street. There was no security at 715 Locust Street in the 1970s and 1980s, and there always seemed to be nutty people or politicians — or nutty politicians — wandering through. The Locust Street building, like the newspaper itself, was built and lovingly tended by the Cowles family — the original Gardner Cowles, his son Mike, and then his grandson David Kruidenier.
