Hamilton Hotel
Chicago, IL
1950's?
Judging from these two lighted sections in the back, it seems that this hotel was so far ahead of its time that it came equipped with Star Trek-style transporters, presumably to send you up to your room without bothering with these pesky old-fashioned elevators. However, the transporters must not be very efficient, judging from all these couches (here we go again with reds and goldens...) if you have to wait to be transported. (Wait, I think I see the problem -- they don't have these disc thingies on the floor like you see on Star Trek shows. I guess they were still working out these things back then.)
Chieftain Motel
Douglas, Wyoming
1950's?
Just when you think you are safe, I am baaaack after a long absence with more ugly motel room postcards to sear your eyes with.
What do we have here? A room with twin beds positioned perpendicular to each other. Apparently, the motel owners didn't care much for hanky wanky. On the back, it says that you can control your own heat. It seems that the motel owners couldn't think of anything good to say about the room. Anyway, it looks like you can control heat simply by pulling these red blankets over the ugly dark-green plaid bedspreads. Oh, and check out the ugly curtains. Apparently, another attempt at deferring sex.
May I draw your attention to this curious concoction to the left, just behind the bed and in front of the door?
What do you suppose that is? A torture device? A rack for a two-headed person to hang his hats?
