Drove past it yesterday!

I've told this story here before, but when I was in 2nd grade, my class went on a field trip to the Cincinnati Zoo. My mom went as a chaperone. Soon after we crossed the Ohio River, my Mom said to me " Look out the window, and in a minute you'll see something neat." And there it was....THE HALL OF JUSTICE!

And I blurted out "IT'S THE HALL OF JUSTICE!!!" all the kids ran to that side of the bus and gawked out the window. It's a wonder the bus didn't turn over.

It was 1982. With only 3 networks, EVERY kid knew what the Hall of Justice was!

Dude, that's an AWESOME story! That's the kind of life-changing stuff a kid never forgets. Good for you!

That's a wonderful memory, Chris. Yeah, back then any kid w/ a TV set knew what the SuperFriends and the Hall Of Justice were. It must have been cool to see the "real thing"!

We went to the museum a few years ago, and I threw in the DC 75 anniversary CD and played the Super Friends themes as we pulled up. Total geek out moment.

When I first read about the station basis a few years ago, I couldn't see how this was chosen considering the location and age, compared to the HB studio. I first thought "toys" but as Holcomb laid out the connection between Superfriends and WGSH, it ruled out Kenner.

So for anyone wondering how this happened.
