Old Cosmo Now Home to Feral Cats!!!















I also got to see the "old" Cosmopolitan Motors complex in Hatboro, Pennsylvania -- now closed, and soon to be razed for a luxury condominium development (what else? a parking lot?) called "StoveWorks." This large building was a beehive of motorcycle activity in the 60s, 70s, and into the 80s and 90s. It is now overrun by feral cats, which Mr. Larry Wise (Weiss) kindly suggested I take back to New Mexico with me!!! I would have preferred some motorcycling souvenirs...
