The buildings constructed nationwide for Keith's 400-house family vaudeville circuit were mimicked in design by his competitors, and by the talking picture studios, through the 1940s.</b></font> |

Great story, but the Constitution was built under The Naval Act of 1794, and her maiden voyage did not start until 22 July 1798 - almost 19 yrs after the 23 August 1779 sailing date from Boston. | khorton12 Mon Aug 18, 2008 19:02 UTC
Would like to report that this beautiful hotel has recently completed a $30 million renovation. The hotel looks amazing, the location is unbeatable, and the service is excellent. | thulme Tue Dec 13, 2005 15:08 UTC
In the "other contact" you were cut off on the really cool website. What was it? | spunkygirl60637 Wed Jun 23, 2004 19:34 UTC
Actually, the couple of blocks along Wash. Street is no longer referred to as the "combat zone" but the warning (that it's dark and should probably be avoided) still stands. |
