[Editor's note: With the recent announcement regarding Robert "Bobby" Lackner and his jewelry store's closing we thought it might be interesting to take a look back at his brief stint in politics. Also of interest about this story is the obscurely known independent publication "Times of Brownsville" and its enigmatic author who would eventually branch out on his own with "El Rocinante" ~ an independently published periodical which became the launch pad for our controversial friend Juan Montoya at Rrun Rrun. Visit Dr Jerry McHale-Scully at "The McHale Report" if you would like to revisit this topic directly with the author and of course, Mr Lackner if you stop by his store before it closes after the summer of 2017. I seldom engage with posts to this blog but you are most definitely welcome to leave a comment as long as it isn't too crass. Otherwise, enjoy this historical document!]
West Elizabeth address. Was it a bank or merely location of printing press where "Times of Brownsville" was published? By the info on the masthead it appears to be a local business and financial banking news published by Brownsville National Bank. We hope to update this with more accurate information later.
