Silver Moon Motel

Anaheim's most recommended family motel.  With 44 modern units.  Where commercial rates prevail year around.  Kitchens, Television, and Radios.

Hi -- guess who stayed here on your recommendation -- nice place.  Wayne loves the pool.

Since Sat. afternoon have seen Knott's and D.land -- oy, my poor feet!  Going to go to Marine land today - gerri, art, Milana, & Wayne.


Casino and Tennis Court, Greenbrier Hotel, White Sulpher Springs, W. Va. (2000 Ft. Elevation)



This one is framed, but if I recall correctly the caption says something to the effect that this woman is a professional wildlife scientist, and you really shouldn't feed bears like this yourself.




In case you're wondering, 212 S. Beach Blvd. still seems to be a motel:


...and the Greenbrier Hotel is not only a going concern, but a vast cluster of buildings that looks like the presidential palace of a nineteenth century empire plopped down in the West Virginia hills.
