Grand Hotel.

We still stay occasionally, though at certain timother year the atmosphere becomes a bit, er-, THICK.

We had a governor who liked it, though, and would drive there in his Oldsmobile...

Radio News or Science and Invention?

Science and Invention

A frequent contributor to Science and Invention in the 1920s and 30s was mentalist Joseph Dunninger. Many of his articles on magic tricks and illusions (much of which was ghostwritten by Walter Gibson, creator of The Shadow) were later compiled into a book entitled Dunninger's Complete Encyclopedia of Magic.

The Grand Hotel was the setting of the movie Somewhere In Time and the Del's most notable film appearance was in The Stunt Man (1980). Interestingly, Somewhere In Time was adapted from a novel by Richard Matheson with the Del (in 1896) being the original setting of the novel, not the Grand Hotel in 1912 in the movie version.

Dr. Demento used to constantly play Benny Bell's Shaving Cream song which would drive me round the bend along with Barnes & Barnes's Fish Heads. :mad:

Shelby Cobra 427 or '67 Shelby Cobra GT-500?

Wow! Thank goodness you're okay. It's wonderful to see you here again, though!
Thanks. I am still a bit on "the mending side" yet. I can tell you, the entire ordeal sure makes me be so much more thankful for everything, even being able to use a "crapper" instead of a bed pan! lol!
