IF THIS IS NOT THE BEST HOTEL WINDOW AND SIGN PHOTOGRAPH...I have ever seen, my name is not Robert. When I saw this sign, I was immediately transferred back to 1960 and found myself checking into a hotel that might have been this one, but one that looked a bit brighter 50 years ago.
It appears that neon once graced this sign, but time has taken the buzz out of its spirit. Perhaps its spirit is gone, but if one could see the faces of all those who peered out of this corner window,one would have a concise history of the many moods of New York City. My congratulations to Joe Western for stopping to capture this aged landmark of a great city.
Even in its state of disrepair and neglect, it appears to be a proud reminder that once upon a time, people came to New York City with a suitcase or two and stayed. Some made millions while others died in bed with a bottle of Smirnoff.
Such is life. There is the good, the bad, and the ugly. But in my mind, this photograph is a beautiful image and reminder of youth gone bad. Time does that; it is the way life begins and ends. By Robert L. Huffstutter
