86. The Winecoff Hotel

Is This a Ghost?

If there's one thing you want out of a hotel, it's for the whole building not to catch on fire while you're there. But don't worry, that won't happen at the Winecoff! This hotel is absolutely fireproof. It says so right on the stationery. *wink*

This is the story of the Winecoff Hotel. Come for the ghosts, stay for Li'l Abner Skunkworks, two-dimensional thinking, stairs that go both ways, we didn’t know about racism back then, the Expedia fireproof filter, ’m either 52 or 108, I come a-rowin', and I don’t think you can make that pottery sensually.
