Dear to my heart. My first computer was a Commodore 64. A friend of mine got the Amiga 1000, an amazing piece of hardware. Later I upgraded to the Amiga 500.
The Commodore Hotel was built on the site of Llanyravon House, built in 1900; this later became the Stirrup Cup Club, the hotel being built in the late 1970s/early 1980s. The hotel has been in administration and boarded up since the end of 2011, and is earmarked for building land for housing.
Permission has been granted to develop the site for housing.

Pilliner's Bar at the hotel referred to the Pilliner family; when Alfred Massey Pilliner, son of the former managing director of the local Oakfield Wire Works married the daughter of Richard Laybourne, the latter bought Llanyravon Farm for them, and in 1900, had Llanyravon House, a Gothic style mansion built on the Commodore site for the couple.
The Commodore Hotel was built in 1936 in the Streamline Moderne style. The style is evident by the rows of recessed windows with continuous eyebrows on both street facades.
The hotel has a covered porch that wraps around the corner. Also taking advantage of the corner are the stacked curving windows with eyebrows.
The hotel's nautical motifs are quite playful with graduated circular bosses that give the impression of rising bubbles. The nautical theme continues with portholes on the ground level.
This building started life as the Aspley Picture House on 1 December 1932, with seating for over 1200. It was renamed the Commodore in August 1956 but closed as a cinema in 1958. It then became the Commodore International Centre, hosting major singing groups until it closed again in the 1990s. It was demolished soon afterwards and is now the site of a Sainsbury's supermarket.

Found on the side of the road. Oddly, I found it minutes after saying that I wish I had a C64. Well, halfway there, I guess.

Commodore James Biddle (February 18, 1783 - October 1, 1848), of the Biddle family, brother of financier Nicholas Biddle and nephew of Captain Nicholas Biddle, is buried in he family plot. Like his commanding officer, Commodore William Bainbridge, Biddle was imprisoned for 19 months by the Barbary pirates. After his release, Biddle took possession of the Oregon territory for the U.S., and negotiated the Treaty of Wanghia at Poon Tong, the first U.S. treaty with China, in 1845.
Christ Church Burial Ground, at the southeast corner of 5th Street and Arch Street, is the final resting place of 4,000 members of the Anglican Christ Church including many Colonial, Revolutionary and Post-Revolutionary notables. In 1719, Christ Church purchased the two acres of land on the outskirts of town, and it has been used as an active graveyard ever since. The brick wall was first built in 1772, and later re-built in 1927 with much of the original masonry and capstone
In the early 1800s, twenty family vaults were built in the middle of the burial ground along a path from the 5th street gate. These family vaults were built to extend down 36 feet and contain up to 20 family members in each. Many of Philadelphia's prominent families used these vaults up into the 20th century.
In 1864, the Church warden, Edward Lyon Clark compiled a book of all the inscriptions that were still visible on the fading soft marble markers. Today only 1,300 markers remain and plaques have been placed in front of some of the gravestones that contain the words that once appeared on the now blank headstones.
Among Christ Church Burial Ground's famous residents are five signers of the Declaration of Independence--Benjamin Franklin, Joseph Hewes, Francis Hopkinson, George Ross, and Dr. Benjamin Rush; Commodore William Bainbridge, Dr. Thomas Bond, Elizabeth and Samuel Powel, Dr. Philip Syng Physick, Commodore William Bainbridge, and James Biddle.

Super rare Lode Runner sequel for experts, fully tested and working, for the Commodore 64. For trade.
My Commodore PET still lives in the basement of my parent's house. They bought it for me from House of Computers on Eglinton Ave West / Avenue Road in Toronto. It was used and $995 - a bargain at the time. It came with 32K of RAM, a 40x25 green screen and the cassette drive was a $120 option at the time. We sprung for the cream-colored cassette drive - the one with the tape counter on it!
