We hope we're not getting an "upgrade," since these people running this place now have little or no taste. Let's all pray to the landmarking god for the swift return of our historic mailboxes. They may not look like much, but the mailboxes together with the surrounding woodwork at the desk were one of the most picturesque and widely photographed features of the lobby. Who knows what further "improvements" tomorrow may bring. Bring back the mailboxes and bring back the Bards while you're at it. Arthur Nash has more photos on myspace.
Update: We were hoping that management was just going to repaint or refurbish the boxes in some way, but word is they have been destroyed, apparently out of spite. Plenty of people around the hotel, us included would have liked to have had them. Tamsar and Elder no doubt knew this and so we hope this wanton act of vandalism makes Tamasar and Elder happy.
