Reminds me of the Edgewater Hotel on Chicago’s Lakefront. We lived in Edgewater for 7 years. The hotel was also very grand once. In fact, My grandmother told me she danced there at the World’s Fair in 193?

Now it’s a condo/coop and not-so-grand.

Beautiful. I can’t imagine what it must have been like to be alive in the days when formality reigned supreme. I don’t want to live that way, but oh what a spectacle it makes!

I’ve been watching some old movies lately and gobbling down the eye candy. The furniture. The clothing. The hair. The drama!

I had no idea the little town of Myrtle Beach, Oregon had such a reknowned past. My family and I performed for a group there about eight years ago. Lovely area.

Beautiful postcards! Happy PFF!

Reminds me of The Flanders, a hotel on the Ocean City Boardwalk in NJ. You can view the vintage postcard shot here (gotta scroll down a bit to see it).

I love this card. I love cards of places that *were*, but are no longer. Nostalgia. I always wonder why some of these grand old places meet the wrecking ball.

Those were the days, I'm told. Too bad Myrtle Beach still doesn't have some grand old hotels like that anymore. Much more pleasing on the eye, if not the pocketbook. I prefer the eye, myself. .-= Jane Gaston´s last blog ..The Chiropractor That Never Was: Part II =-.
