This unique hotel repurposes the iconic TWA Flight Center, originally built in 1962. It still embodies all of the glamor of the early jet age! We really love seeing the old pics juxtaposed with the current images.

Encapsulate yourself in the sense of optimistic futurism that was the early 1960s jet age!

While researching this little town, I came across this review... "I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of things to do in such a small town...Raton, NM may not be on everyone's radar, but it's definitely worth a visit!"
That's what it's about, right? Taking a road less traveled and meeting folks that have a story to tell. Raton Pass offers such things as the Shuler Theater, Raton Scenic Railway, and much more!

Steamboat is more than just skiing and riding. Immerse yourself in western heritage with horseback rides, snowmobiling, hot springs, sleigh ride dinners, winter photography tours, and more. Whether summer or winter, there’s no shortage of activities available for those looking to experience the playground wonderland that is Steamboat Springs, Colorado. While there, we love our friends at the 70 year young and still beyond awesome Rabbit Ears Motel!

9.2 on Expedia and a very cool neon sign!

Cedar Point is more than roller coasters. It’s more than thrill rides. It’s more than the mile-long sandy beach where our rich history began. Cedar Point is where moments, memories and connections are made. These connections last for generations and are built on tradition – traditions that began more than 150 years ago.
For example, from about 1914 to the 1930s, the Sea Swing was a popular attraction at Cedar Point. The ride was located in the water of Lake Erie, about 100 feet from the bathhouse along the Cedar Point beach. It operated in a fashion similar to a Merry Go Round, but being shaped like hexagon, the riders dipped into the water as the swing went around, instead of going in a direct circular motion. The Sea Swing was powered by electricity.https://sanduskyhistory.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-sea-swing-at-cedar-point.html?m=1
