@Boiler 1220-It must have been fun to play that piano and reminisce the good times of being together. I love that tiger that is painted in the background-I can't get it out of my mind. It probably reminds me of when I was in Kindergarten, and I used to love to draw tigers. I drew them all the time in class and drew them well-it gave me confidence since I was a very shy child. The teacher got mad at me since I only drew tigers, but what she didn't realized is that it was a confidence booster for me in a new classroom setting. I have always loved to draw. Today, I love to draw portraits, since I find the human face so fascinating! : )

@Boiler 1220-I'm glad to hear that some people are doing OK today after being there. It's interesting that all of you were like a family and bonded together through shared experiences. Just shows how strong the human spirit is, and how we can overcome the most distressing times.

Hey Mr. Motts-was the old rink still there when you explored the Pines?

@ Sharon Day-Thanks for the mention of the Pines site! This hotel must have been a great place in its day. I especially like the shot of the skating rink on the site-it's amazing how some of these old resorts had rinks in them. I would have gone there-I was a figure skater in high school-it was a lot of fun! : )

@Draven Mercer-Love the Star Wars reference! ; )

Such a shame that they let these old pianos sit and rot. They should have been removed immediately when the building closed. We had a lot of these old pianos (in good shape but some were terribly out of tune! ) in the Music Dept. at my college. They did have 2 beautiful black grand pianos as well!

It does look like something from Star Wars! The first three original films with Harrison Ford were the best! : )

I love this mural-I wish I could see it in person. I wish I could play that piano too! : ) Thanks Mr. Motts for taking this picture before all the graffiti and trash came.
