On a Saturday blue-sky morning the little lake in our alley still has water from the recent rains and there is some mud too where the gravel is gone. A male grackle chatters loudly then swoops down to parade and ruffle his feathers and stomp around for a couple of females. I look up and over the old stone walls of the buildings across the alley that face out to Fisk Street and there in the sky towers the abandoned Brownwood Hotel. A ghostly watcher. Solitary and still impressive, empty windows for eyes and the fire escape zigzags up the side terminating at the 12th floor, which was the ballroom where it is rumored that Glenn Miller and his service band played. If that happened, it was in 1942 when Miller and his band toured around the country playing at military camps and bases. Brownwood fits the bill for that kind of thing in 1942.
