Plans unveiled in today's South Bend Tribune for $295,000 Studebaker Plaza. Seems very disappointing for the site that began the Studebaker legacy in South Bend. Only Studebaker reference is a salvaged "S" that was from the foundry and donated and a small plaque that seem to be shoved into the back corner. Obvious no one from the area helped design it.

A fat quarter million bucks and it's appointed with simple BENCH seats! What happened to "Always give more than you promise."???
I can't recall if I've ever read what now stands where the original H&C Studebaker blacksmith shop was. Does anyone know what's there now?
Are there any streets in the SB area that bear names of various Studebaker models? Something like Avanti avenue, Commander causeway, Regal road, Champion circle, Lark lane, Hawk hiway would be fitting names for a new subdivision, methinks. All we've got so far is this here Lark Park (apologies to Dale).No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
