You are looking at structures directly across from the 328 Club. On the left is Gary's Pro Shop, 331 West King Street. If you need golf bags, clubs, balls or even instruction; that would be the place to go. Bowling stuff also. I suspect pool cues and the like. Gary loved us. He never said much but he loved us nonetheless. to the right of 331 is a duplex 329-327. I never really knew much about 327. An old gentlemanly guy named Alfred lived there. Quiet. Kept to himself, a butler type. However, as nondescript as 329 looked, and it was nodescripter then than now, behind that door lie the Bat Cave. Of course, it was the lair of a pair known as Batman (real name unknown, could of been Bruce Wayne but I really don't know. We called him Butch when he was not scampering across roof tops making West King Street safe for democracy) and Robin (Wes Blessing, contrary to what you thought you knew in those old DC comix). I think Wes was a Vietnam vet. Both of them had left over half of their brain cells at previous addresses so they fit right in. They rocked. They were fixtures on their porch. Drinking and trying to score some contraband. On a good night they came to the 340 and graced us with their presence.I looked up Wes Blessing in the Lancaster phone book. A nice young lady answered and said I had the wrong number. I didn't disturb her world any more than that. IF ANYONE KNOWS THE WHEREABOUTS OF BATMAN & ROBIN. BUTCH & WES. PLEASE BRING THEM TO THE KNIGHTS ON JUNE 7TH.

As Phil has corrected me on, Gary's Pro Shop was not at 331 but rather up the street a bit. 331 was then and is today (as depicted) residential in nature. I do have 329 correctly identified as the Bat Cave.
