Hotel del Coronado is a wonderful old and creaky place. I believe it may have been where Edward met Wallis Simpson. It was the setting of the delightful little movie "Stuntman".
Also, I believe, the hotel setting for "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Supposed to have a female ghost roaming the halls.
I engaged in a fight with a rogue pelican there once.
Sorry to pop your bubble, ol' Bean, but we look to Britain, Europe, and South America for civilisation--not the East Coast of America. You Yankees gave up that claim decades ago.
I could cry, we have 90mph gales here, I can barely step outside for fear of being blown to North Korea.
ReplyDeleteIt's mid twenties here with a balmy ocean breeze; although cloudy.
ReplyDeleteI heard the ship from Master & Commander is on display there...maybe take a tour!

Vern T,
BB ~ Goodness, it's not every day someone from Boston defines for us the true meaning of 'civilization'. How utterly rich.

ReplyDeleteLong ago, at least the early fifties, called, by the late Holiday Magazine, "the effete East!"
