Scanning the Intell one morning, I saw a listing of a house for rent - 340 W. King Street. Call 397-XXXX. So, we convened a meeting of the governing board and we called.
Yes, there is a God! We had a new abode - just a few doors up from the 328 Club. At the time, the 340 was in better shape than the 328 (that didn't last long), and we eagerly agreed to the move. With help from club members and other assorted individuals, we hauled our humble belonging up King Street, and a new club was open.
My first memory of the 340 is of watching from the second floor as HTF went into the 328, and came out scratching himself from Champ's fleas.
The rest, as they say, is debauchery.
An interesting note: I don't know if the 340 was the reason, but the City of Lancaster has passed a law that prohibits more than 3 unrelated individuals from living in the same residence.

Thanks Sil ... George thanks you also for not putting his number on the Blog. I think you captured the essence of the move. You are correct in referring to the Bachelor Pad Law as a reactionary piece of legistation directly tied to our antics on West King Street. ditto for the Noise Ordinance which also was codified in hte late 70s after the incident at 328. Thus, obliquly, the 340 Club had a beneficial (in some eyes) effect on governing Lancaster's neighborhoods.
Sounds like a great place..Maybe I will move into it with you guys in October,1975
