While Liederkrantz ("Singing Society") Hall was built by German immigrants as a community center, it's use changed over the years. In the '50s and '60s (just before its demolition), it was used by CBS as studios for producing TV soap operas. The developers had historic reasons to dub their tower "The Guiding Light" or more provocatively, "The Secret Storm." How do I know? Well, my mother was the Production Assistant (i.e., producer's gofer) for "Secret Storm" in the early sixties. I remember acompanying her to Liederkrantx Hall and asking about the name. </p>
