I'm pretty sure this was taken at Bryce Zabel's apartment on Allen Blvd in Beaverton in August of 1974, where we watched Richard Nixon give his "leaving office" speech.

So Mama Don't Take My Kodachrome Away

The Eastman Kodak Co. announced today it's retiring its most senior film because of declining customer demand in an increasingly digital age. The world's first commercially successful color film, immortalized in song by Paul Simon, spent 74 years in Kodak's portfolio.
