Take a look at Jennifer's comment about the former slide at the hotel, an antidote for hoity toityness, most definitely!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lisa, <BR/>Sounds like you're describing some of those lovely old barns you've caught with your camera. :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jennifer,<BR/>Well, now that is a fun fact indeed!

My husband's coworkers told him about the Hotel's infamous slide-- apparently people used to sneak into the hotel to try it out. <BR/><BR/>I looked around for verification and found this on Wikipedia: "The hotel had an unusual fire escape, a multi-story spiral slide for guests to make their escape. Many local teenagers were said to have taken the ride but the slide was eventually boarded up, and removed."<BR/><BR/>Anyway.
