The Deets

Nick Cross captured this amazing shot at Gooseberry Falls earlier this month. Yet another benefit of the state shutdown being over.

Westin Edmonton TP, originally uploaded by edkohler. This is not what I expect to see at a Westin property.

Tom Elko sent this TP shot in from a recent trip to the Windy City. He described it as a “disappointment”, which is not what one would expect at a Marriott. Perhaps Marriott needs to go back to using TP stickers? I’m not sure that they need to shut down for an all-company meeting to [...]

La Quinta Downtown Seattle TP, originally uploaded by edkohler. It’s good to have a backup after taking down some free coffee and waffles in the morning.

La Quinta, Clive, IA TP, originally uploaded by edkohler. La Quinta: Where the TP is as harsh as the fold.
