South Bend’s Century Center, in an evocative photo by Lou Sabo. A picture for all centuries….

Yes, this picture was taken in 1977 by my friend, a photographer whose great pictures show his love for his native city and the power of images to span the past, present and future. Catch his lecture this Saturday, Oct. 7, at 1 pm in the Saint Joseph County Public Library downtown. He will offer his unique perspectives on the evolution of South Bend and visions for its future.

SJCPL, an outstanding library, has archived many of his photos at the Michiana Memory site. Enjoy the images and then come to meet Lou in person on Saturday! Eileen and I will be there!
