Where's the View?

Miami Lakes Inn and Country Club
Miami Lakes, FL
1970's?

 We normally associate harvest gold, along with avocado green, with 1970's, but judging from many postcards I have of the period, it seems that red was a very popular color, at least for hotels and motels. In addition to the ubiquitous reds, there is a lot of browns here in this room which firmly establishes this as a room of the 1970's. Also, observe the bedspread -- it is cleverly designed to hide spill stains from messy dinners. By the way, this is definitely not a room will a view -- all you see is a few palm trees and what appears to be a telephone pole directly in front of the window.
