I think that at the time of hotel photo that was considered to be a really nice lobby.

I'm sure.

We'll head over to the bar later and enjoy a cooled libation.......and then out to the veranda to enjoy the air and view.

...and actual conversation.

Indeed! Meet you there!

Would that it were true!

Would that it were true!

IK should put in a bar at my place in PA!

Prepare for visitation. I'll even bring my own brew

I can still dream.

We should go in and check out the dining rooms - Japanese Dining Room.

This must have been top drawer in its day.

Eh! It's still dreadful, IMHO. A few odd light fixtures, two paper umbrellas, and a couple oddly placed "trellises" does not Japan make. They should have named the facility, "Cliche' Oriental Pretense Place."

Again, 100 years ago Japan was little more than a vague idea to much of the US; 100 years ago, Florida was not much more than a tropical jungle wasteland with a handful of scattered outpost towns along the coasts.

Perhaps you'd like to reserve us all a round table at the Algonquin since that may better meet your sophisticated tastes and needs?

Nah. Don't listen to me or pay any attention. All this claptrap comes from a guy - I swear - who, before he went to live in NYC, actually thought Puerto Rico was a city in Florida. I kid you not. And that was intending no disrespect, just paying attention elsewhere when we were studying the Caribbean, I theorize.
Naaaaahhh, don't come to me expecting good taste. What do I know about such wonders as Ligonier (I road my bike there, once, as an adolescent) faux-Japanese wonders. I'm jus' a hick from somewhere where they had to close the high school the kids were so.....oh.....never mind

I used to dream of going to New York City, mainly to go to Madison Hardware. Now, I just can't think of a reason to go. I think that's mainly my depression talking.

A hick? No more or less than myself given my origins.
