No, this isn’t a postcard from the 60s. This is a room at the Koolwink Motel in 2024.

Unlike most of the motels featured in my posts, the Koolwink is alive and well and has been operating under the same name since 1936. Nestled in the hills of Romney, West Virginia, the motel buildings, office and rooms are a time capsule of the past. Each room is perfected with wood paneling and original midcentury furniture. The motel’s logo (Mr. Koolwink) has been featured on the motels signs, notepads, mugs and mints for the past 6 decades.

The Koolwink opened in the 30s by Nora and Henry Cline. In the 1950s, Wallace and Pauline Mauk purchased it from his great-aunt Nora. Today, it’s owned and operated by Wallace and Pauline’s daughter Kay and her husband Robert. Kay was kind enough to chat with me and share some history of the motel as well as a few older photos - if you look closely at the black and white shot, you can see Kay and her twin brother Jay as toddlers!

It’s so clear that this property has been well cared for. Our room was clean, affordable and gave us the exact experience we were looking for. The Koolwink’s website describes their motel as “a modern facility with a retro feel,” which is exactly what it is. I really loved my stay there. Kay left me with a hug and a “come visit us again soon.” I will definitely be back.

btw y'all i've been watching the kingsman movies and that harry hart guy is gender asf and everything (no one cares) but where is his lore. i'm sure it probably wouldve been unnecessary or something in the movies and also please note that i havent watched the third one yet so i could be yapping about nothing-- but the second movie was like beginning to delve into something then they fought the mfs at the end and stopped elaborating anymore i hope im making sense.

this is very likely just me thinking "harry hart was about to be very kinnable and i dont actually want to kin another character but it felt like it was going to happen and you jus left him lore-less" but i'm like so confused. like maybe i was just reading into everything too much but the whole butterfly arc thing felt serious like please tell me what his parents were like, why did he only ever mention his mother, what was that whole fixation about and WHY DIDNT HE KISS MERLIN!!!!!

ALSO WHAT WAS ALL THAT ABOUT WHAT HE SAW AFTER GETTING SHOT anyways i hope i shut up about these movies soon my poor discord comrades are being forced to converse with "AGENT GALAHAD" what the fuck man

#the part about kissing merlin was unrelated #text #merlin is hodt sorry #almost heaven #west virginia #sorry i'll shut up now #kingsman #harry hart

Dearly Beloved | Explained

Tides flow, trees grow, earth-bound things surrender

Time tosses, hearts break, the golden willow withers

It is not a test to see all that we can accomplish

But for the beloved, we've grown to understand

It's finding heaven among the tombstones.
