Quite an establishment!  I made a few pilgrimages way back.

Perhaps interesting:  a suitable counterpart to this place, for the cinemaphile world, is Jerry Ohlinger's store in the Village (well it moved around somewhat) and its namesake died like two weeks ago.

George H W Bush

In retrospect a decent Republican President….a rarity

My (late) dad was a big fan.

Any rumor to his last words being "Hey wanna see a magic trick?"

I'm not prone to nostalgia, but the Bush 41 service really makes me miss the days when adults and decent men were not uncommon in DC.

Whenever a former President dies the news coverage is pure hagiography

It was always thus- even when Nixon died- and it’s fine as it is about respecting the office (but it is a little overblown)

If only someone like him was around today to assist in assassinations.
