I had one as a kid and I totally forgot about it. I also grew up about 30 miles from Dinosaur world, but that's another story.Bradhttp://www.getthepoint.tv/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-7799160068199913932008-01-24T12:26:00.000-08:002008-01-24T12:26:00.000-08:00If I may comment on the other comments here...Ronn...If I may comment on the other comments here...<BR/><BR/>Ronn- Glad you dug the photo and the living room!<BR/><BR/>anonymous- thanks for the awesome factoid. I had no idea and I can't wait to see that now.<BR/><BR/>vintage reader- That sectional is indeed curved (l-shaped) and it came from OKC. There isn't much support under the cushions so you really sink in, and like your cats, my dogs love it just a little too much.<BR/><BR/>earl fando- the scariest thing about the Crescent for me is the spiral staircase. You can see straight to the ground from the top floor and the stairs are not level so gravity pulls you to the center. This makes it seem like unseen forces are trying to push you off. Supposedly a cleaning lady committed suicide by jumping down this drop.<BR/>I think it's room 217 that's supposed to be the most haunted.Kirk D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05700097965524197825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-76448204203413336322008-01-11T22:03:00.000-08:002008-01-11T22:03:00.000-08:00I've stayed in the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Spring...I've stayed in the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas before. It's a creaky, old-fashioned, slightly swanky, semi-spooky treat. However, no spectres troubled us during our brief stay. <BR/><BR/>The most disturbing thing about the hotel was the balcony that ran along the outside of the floor the missus and I were on. Apparently, one could just walk around it passing by from room to room. That may be convenient for slasher psychos and OJ Simpson on a memorabilia crusade, but for the average guest it's bleeding nervewracking evertime a shadow hits the window.Earl Fandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622693631630238530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-35700596603043756992008-01-08T07:16:00.000-08:002008-01-08T07:16:00.000-08:00I love Eureka Springs. Sigh! Is that blue sofa in ...I love Eureka Springs. Sigh! <BR/><BR/>Is that blue sofa in the Christmas pic a semi-round sectional? I ask because the part of it that's visible in the corner of the photo bears a striking resemblance to a curved orange sectional that I bought at the Salvation Army in Norman, OK and used for many years. It's currently wrapped in plastic, awaiting reupholstering. The low back is REALLY comfortable, but the burlap-like upholstery has remarkable cat-attracting properties, so it doesn't look like much anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-78840501925657640532008-01-02T12:19:00.000-08:002008-01-02T12:19:00.000-08:00That old dinosaur park in the Mr Toast travel pics...That old dinosaur park in the Mr Toast travel pics makes an atmospheric appearance ("Look, Norman!") during the first few minutes of the wonderfully strange 1969 Larry Buchanan epic, "IT'S ALIVE!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-35208308381529048212008-01-01T16:47:00.000-08:002008-01-01T16:47:00.000-08:00The photo of Mr Toast sitting admiring the Christm...The photo of Mr Toast sitting admiring the Christmas Tree in the living room is great! Very retro, while the open door in the background gives a peek at a treasure trove of neat stuff! I'd love to get a peek in there ;-)Ronn Roxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872626036211109440noreply@blogger.com
