traditionalguy म्हणाले...: Hurray. Was this an area frequented by rich Texas vacationers seeking cool summer weather in the pre-airconditioning days? Many businesses seem Texas connected in their customer signage.; ९/८/०९, १२:०४ PM

Many a man climbed the stair
Behind many a twitching behind,
In the hotel that held the fairest fair
Who sold the bump and grind.; ९/८/०९, १:१९ PM

Hear, hear. What a beautiful place!

Hurray. Was this an area frequented by rich Texas vacationers seeking cool summer weather in the pre-airconditioning days? Many businesses seem Texas connected in their customer signage.

Hmm--I guess I'm missing the Texas connection. What are you seeing that I'm not? (Sure, Beaumont is a city in SE Texas, but the site explains the name: Beau mont = beautiful mountain.); ९/८/०९, २:०५ PM
Beau म्हणाले...: What a great restoration job compared to the pre-restoration photo's in Bearbee's link.

Looking at other photos in the photostream you've managed to capture the special look/feeling comes with towns nestled in the Rockies in both countries. I haven't been to the European Alps and don't know if the feeling is the same in Alpine villages. I didn't get this same 'aura', or whatever it is, from Spanish and French towns in the Pyrenees.

Sure are a lot of shorts wearers.; ९/८/०९, २:४३ PM
