Steve Schell and I have been commissioned to write an in depth article on Jim Lansing and JBL. I can't provide more details about the commission until the article is published sometime next year. For now, I could use the help of someone around St. Louis in getting a key photograph for that article. The photograph would be of the birthplace of Jim Lansing. This is the former town of Greenridge Illinois, around a one hour drive outside of St. Louis. I say former, because it doesn't exist as a town anymore. It is currently just a cornfield in the middle of farm country. I actually just want a picture (or more accurately, pictures) of the barren cornfield to contrast it with a historical picture of the town. If there is anyone that would be willing to make the one hour trip out to Greenridge, just respond to this thread or send me a PM and I can give detailed directions to the location. Just for information, below is a relatively recent aerial photograph over which I have superimposed the layout of the former town based on information given to me by a local historian. I have also linked to the historical photo I mentioned above.
