Hi -- Had a couple hours to kill so I came over to the Statue and climbed to the crown, 22 storeys. Beautiful weather this labor day Sunday. Crowds. Tired. This is my new "Deltograph" pen $3.50. Riding to Balto. Tuesday with Walt Ahrens who will help clean up house. Earned $85 helping Lange's. no school money yet. They went to Md. yesterday in their new '63 Corvette (red). Yours, Gary.

I think the "First Floor Lounge" shot might be one of the finest I've seen on this blog, but I have a soft spot for the copywriter who wrote a whole paragraph about the Leamington Hotel. I mean, for Pete's sake! They're advertising muzak! (Or do I mean they're advertising muzak?)
ReplyDelete#1. A 1-cent stamp and a 1929 post mark. The back is more interesting than the front.
ReplyDelete#2. "most complete" hotel? What, were all the other ones still under construction?
#3. Actually kind of interesting, since I think I heard the public is no longer allowed to climb to the crown.
#4. Yeah, that one's pretty darn boring.
