My Burbank friend Mike sent me an e-Bay notice of a postcard for auction; this one features a Burbank hotel, then (1960's or 1970's) called the " Golden State Motel ." It is now a Ramada Inn (although I can't imagine the chain would want to really claim the place). The absolute worst night I have ever spent in a hotel was here. The bathrooms have thick metal doorstops bolted onto the floors. I had to get up late one night and slammed motels hotels in pigeon forge tn a toe against one in the dark, breaking it. I literally saw stars. The service was sluggish, as if the staff were doing you favors. The place smelled. And you could hear the traffic along I-5 from your room, as well as jets landing at the Burbank airport. Mike told me that the only Burbank policeman ever gunned down in the line of duty was at a gang incident at this hotel, which makes sense because it looks like the local Trece Rifa chapter might hold their annual conventions there. In short, it's a real dump. But there was one advantage to staying motels hotels in pigeon forge tn there: motels hotels in pigeon forge tn Having learned our lesson when travelling we no longer make simple cost the main factor in securing a hotel room! I am enjoying B.A. Botkin's railroad folklore treasury; here are a couple of excerpts . I finished digitizing my last full family video this morning, so that's 80 hours of family DVDs (1959-2009) motels hotels in pigeon forge tn converted into .mp4 video files. motels hotels in pigeon forge tn Each two hour DVD took about twelve hours of processing time on a laptop to convert; the whole collection took me over a month to do thus far. I still have about fifteen motels hotels in pigeon forge tn DVDs worth of video segments to convert, motels hotels in pigeon forge tn but the main stuff is now done. My idea is to put all the video files in a directory with a web page. The page has descriptions of what's on each DVD and links to them all. That way I can take two boxes of VHS and Hi-8mm videotapes and store them on a 100 GB USB drive that fits into a shirt pocket. I can then take the drive to my kids and load the data onto their PCs. Cool! Easy to access and the video data is thus preserved in another format. As I wrote before, motels hotels in pigeon forge tn I missed my true calling in life - I should have been a librarian/archivist.
