  1. Alexandria Hotel AKA

    My friend Steph Vogel is at it again, rebooing a hotel. This time the crufty old Holiday Inn is getting repurposed as an AKA. We are not really the right demographic here as we are completely allergic to hamster cages. But lots of people getting married are the right demographic. You can tell Steph is in charge because the staff is excellent and friendly and fun. But honestly we don't believe Steph exists. He has been replaced by an LLM. We were in a king deluxe with a lil balcony […]

  2. @DanMorgan The American Sign Museum has what is believed to be the last authentic 'Great Sign' in existence. It's displayed at the entrance and, once you step inside, there's also a scale replica that was used for things like trade shows and also the original blueprints for its design.

  3. ‘Jenks Market’ development to bring food hall concept to site near Oklahoma Aquarium

    A developer plans to build a food hall near the Oklahoma Aquarium, with an opening no later than July 2027. After three years of work to refine the plans, the Jenks Market development went before the Jenks…

  4. Here's Fred Astaire in his whiz bang finish to the firecracker sequence. #HolidayInn #SundayFunnies

  5. @MatthewTitus88 @noirdame I feel like maybe this would have gotten the same treatment as the Bing & Bob road movies so it probably stayed in theaters for a long enough time that the holiday setting would have made some semblance of sense but idk

  7. If you’re ever in Huntsville Ontario looking for a place to stay, don’t go to the Holiday Inn Express. Maybe it’s true of all Holiday Inn Expresses; I don’t tend to stay there. But, we did stay there for two nights and the room we got was supposed to have two queen beds. Those beds were definitely NOT queens. My feet dangled off the end all night and I could hang my hands off of both sides without extending my arms all the way. They kept insisting the beds were queens no matter what we said. I was feeling so gaslit. We wondered if we were, somehow, imagining it so we measured the beds and they were doubles. Not possible, they said. The system claims there are no doubles on the premises. It was crazy-making. Also, there was no WiFi. #Huntsville #HolidayInn #hotel #gaslighting

  8. Here are Edward and Dorothy Wainer at Val d'Or. I'm not sure who the boy in the middle is. Son? Grandson? Nephew?

    But what has me posting this image is the shirt Edward is wearing. It's a white and red t-shirt that says "Meet Me at Rifters." If I zoom in I can see it's associated with Holiday Inn. That makes sense as the boy is wearing a Holiday Inn t-shirt.

    Although I was 9 in 1982, I don't recall Rifters. I'm guessing it was the hotel chain's restaurant?

  9. As jarring as the black face scene in #HolidayInn is I can't help but feel that the alt-right would throw a fit hearing some of the lyrics of "Song of Freedom"

    "Free to sail the seven seas
    Free to worship as we please
    If the birds up in the trees can be free
    Why can't we?

    I'm bringing a song of freedom
    To all people wherever they may be

    Free to speak and free to hear
    Free from want and free from fear
    Sons of freedom far and near who agree, sing with me
    That all God's people shall be free"

  10. Just watched our first proper #Christmas film of the year; #HolidayInn. This year we upgraded to the #4K Blu Ray.

    I believe that they couldn't use the original negatives for this one so while it's not as stunning a revelation as Singin' In The Rain it's still a huge upgrade over the hugely compressed Blu Ray that had to share precious disc space with the colourised version.

  11. You may have thought #HolidayInn was a #hotel company... think again:

    Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG) who own HI & Crown Plaza brands actually own less than 1% of the hotels so branded... another third are run on service contracts for investors; the rest are franchises.

    IHG is essentially a brand manager, with some service contracts, but for the most part is benefiting from the rent on the Holiday Inn brand & fees for using centralised booking services...

    an everyday story of #rentiers?

  12. Thoughts to contemplate…Ida Lupino in “Holiday Inn” (1942) with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire?
