Connecticut Calm (Waters)

I’m generally anxious around this time of year, approaching the end of the semester, but this year I am particularly so: I seem to be uneasy in general and in Salem in particular. The nice weather has kicked off the tourist season earlier than ever, or maybe it never ended? This means large tour groups just outside my house as late as 10:00 at night, with guides speaking about the ancient “ankle…

Goth on a Grand Staircase: The Stanley Hotel, original inspiration for Stephen King's novel THE SHINING. (His mini-series was filmed here, not Kubrick's film.)

Visited this eerie, iconic place while on book tour for A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN: TRUE STORIES OF AMERICA'S GHOSTS and can confirm, it is 100 percent haunted. While this historic hotel isn't mentioned in our first volume, if we're lucky enough to get a follow-up volume to our book about the intersection of women's history and ghost stories, I hope to include one of the amazing stories I heard here on a ghost tour, about a lifelong worker who did her whole shift before anyone realized she was a spirit...

Image of the Week

Next week is Spring Break, so we're thinking about historical vacations! There were more than 20 grand hotels in the Saranac Lake area where wealthy families would spend weeks or even months at a time resting and enjoying the fresh air. The Saranac Inn was a large, luxurious hotel on the north end of Upper Saranac Lake. It started as a small hotel called Hough's in 1864, and by 1909 could house 250 guests. This postcard shows part of the main hotel building around 1949.Major guests in the hotel's history included US Presidents Chester A. Arthur and Grover Cleveland, and New York Governors Charles Evan Hughes and Al Smith. What are your vacation plans?

Learn more about the Saranac Inn on our wiki.

The Allure of Boulder and Golden, Colorado

Story by Jeff and Stephanie Sylva A recent trip to Colorado took us to the towns of Boulder and Golden, before visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. Both of these towns boast a combination of natural and urban settings. Both are famous for their outdoor activities and energetic downtowns. And both towns lie at the foothills of the Rockies and sit on the doorstep of nature. Boulder – a passion…

Gearing up for the stat boosts

MDZS Disco Elysium AU Part 3 (Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 4)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #MDZS disco elysium AU #It's not really disco elysium unless your protagonist is dressed up like they're going for the stat boosts #And coming out like a moderately deranged cyberpunk fashion disaster #The AV cable hair ties in particular were the answer to 'How can I explain wwx finding something to tie his hair up in a trashed hotel room #as well as 'How can get him to look even more like a disaster cyberpunk OC?'#WWX woke up after years of being in the eternal pale only to find himself in a different body -hungover and bleeding.#The lack of shirt is due to emergency first aid. The rest of the outfit is him finding whatever he can.#and what better way to pair a lack of shirt than with fishnets?#Lan Wangji doens't have the historical cosplay thing kim has going on but he does wear cute bunny socks. As a treat.#and YES it would be electrochem getting the boost.#It's the skills for *more* than just drugs and sex! Its also the one that goes 'YIPEE! I love solving cases! ^_^ I love a good sandwich!'#Electrochem is the skill for 'you deserve a little treat' and it doesn't care what that little treat is as long as it sparks joy!!!#Please keep that red memento in mind. I will be returning to that plot point.

Back in August, my mother, my sister and I did a three day roadtrip to Lake Placid in New York State, where the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics were hosted. We hiked and visited Adirondack natural wonders the two first days, but because my health was starting to fail me on the second day, we kept the third one for visiting the Downton Abbey costume exhibition at the Lake Placid Center for the arts.

On our way to the exhibit, we passed by the Pines Inn, formerly known as the St. Moritz Hotel, a hotel built in 1907. I had wanted to stay at that hotel, but my mom refused, saying it was in poor shape and looked haunted on the hotel booking sites (she wasn't wrong, but I love that stuff, as you know). I still insisted for us to at least visit it, and we sure did NOT regret it. We stumbled upon one of the concierges (or new owners, correct me if you see this!), and he loved my outfit so much that he gave us a tour of the hotel, including in areas closed to guests. He told us that Albert Einstein and the Kennedys had been guests at the hotel, that there was n*de sunbathing on the roof in the 1930s and that a lot of the furniture was original. Sadly, after the 80s, the hotel slowly went into decrepitude and abandonment, and many things got stolen and damaged. The new owners are currently working hard to restore the hotel, and it's indeed a lot of work.

Outfit rundown Dress: vintage Ingeborg (Pink House) Velvet michiyuki: vintage Hat: Rudsak with added brooch by Fuwari Gloves: vintage Shoes: old Clarks Bag: second-hand Vivienne Westwood Belt: thrifted Big British stamp brooch: second-hand Jane Marple Small marine cat stamp brooch: Via Carousel Anchor and crest brooches: vintage Earrings: old Dracolite

I’ve been thinking nonstop about a post @nouverx made on March 3rd where Alastor asks “what country” the ace aro flag was, and my brain naturally made a meme about it.

Rosie jump-scared him with it one night in the December of 2016, and he said yes for the sake of his sanity (post 1933 world maps are hard, okay)

Ingek73 found this gorgeous 1878 neo-classical building that has a long history, including being a hotel in Amsterdam. The mansion has 6 floors, 28 rooms and 14 bathrooms. €6,950M / $7.416M.

Can you imagine coming home to this elegance every day?

Incredible neo-classical details.

Isn't this room amazingly beautiful and cozy? I would have to put a sofa or comfy chair in here.

You can see that the window glass is original b/c it's uneven and has tiny bubbles in it.

Wainscoting and beams w/corbels in the hall.

The stairs have very different neo-classical newel posts and railings.

The landings are large enough to decorate.

Remember the building is 6 floors.

Look at this fireplace. The insert is original. Amazing.

Check out the library and the huge fireplace with a tile firebox.

Looks like maybe this is a game room or dining room. That fireplace! And, the ceiling. I wish they would've shown a kitchen, but it may be commercial b/c of it being a hotel.

Gorgeous garden.

How the building looked originally.

Remember, it was once a hotel.

Each room has an en-suite bath.

This looks like the very top - a small structure on the roof.

Pfunds Molkerei, Dresden

This lovely place was used as one of the film locations for 'Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014) as the Mendl's bakery. This unique dairy store was established in 1880 and kept its original interior with hand painted decorative tiles.
