I made a point of visiting the Crown Room to see the lights which were designed, oddly enough, by Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum. But our guide book says that the original crown chandeliers have been replaced! The room features the second largest unsupported domed ceiling in the United States.
The hotel lobby was constructed of Illinois oak and Honduran mahogany. This chandelier is in the lobby. There were several stores in the hotel. In a candy shop Glenn found some old-time 'chicken bones'. Remember them? We wish we'd bought more than one bag.
Over christmas I looked high and low for some of the christmas candies from when I was a kid. I found pink chicken bones and ribbon candy in the bulk food section of Safeway. (But then again, it was Penticton. Probably much easier to find these things on the coast.)
ReplyDeleteThe chicken bones came up so expensive at the till, both the clerk and I were shocked. Needless to say, I left them behind.
