Celebrating a Deathday™ (May 16, 2019.) The station house salutes the life and works of
I. M. Pay, the legendary architect responsible for such structures as the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, the Louvred® Glass Pyramid at a Paris Museum whose name escapes us, the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Old Flames in Cleveland or Cincinnati, the Beanlike Object in Chicago's Grande Park and the Milwaukee Arena. I. M. Pay was also known for his teenage invention of a nutroll he could take on class trips without loose peanuts soiling his trousers. His salty sweet creation was "rolled out" in the '30s as the PayDay® bar, enjoying popularity to this day. Indeed, he himself credited it with being his fondest personal triump. "I.M. most proud of nut-rolled candy bar that bear my name," the salty nut lover said back in 2000. Pay died at age 102 in Manhattan, where one imagines you can find his buildings and a plentitude of his namesake
PayDay bars in nearby bodegas. Happy Anni-hearse-ary™, citizen.
