Cool Vintage Places & Retro Fun - with your hostess Mod Betty!
When we heard that The Caribbean Motel in Wildwood NJ (a 1950s modern motel masterpiece) was honored as the first motel to be listed in the Register of Historic Places, we knew we had to re-visit the site of one of our fab vintage vacation destinations!
While w would have loved to stay at the posh Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis, TN we did scurry ourselves over there to witness the daily parade of ducks as they make their way to the fountain in the lobby, as they have every day since the 1930s!
Union Station in downtown Nashville TN is one of a handful of beautiful old train stations converted into hotel space (remember the Lackawanna Train Station Hotel in Scranton we went to a few months back?) Built in 1900 it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977. It’s quite a grand sight along popular Broadway
While doing some research for my fave local theater, The Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville PA I came across a cool website called Another Old Movie Blog sharing the news that The Colonial Theatre in Canaan CT is for sale. If you’ve ever wanted your very own movie house, here’s your chance! (October 2010 photo courtesy
