This curious sight is Jumer's Castle Lodge, a Bavarian-themed resort hotel in Bettendorf, Iowa. Or, at least it was. The hotel, built in 1973, was demolished in 2016. More's the pity.
I had no idea what this was when I snapped the picture all those years ago. Digigtized color print, August 1986.
I woke up to wind and rain this morning. Poor Ken has dog-walking duty. It'll be a short walk, I'm sure. Tomorrow we're invited over the road to a neighbors' 90th birthday party. They're expecting 100 people. The family have two party tents to put up today. The forecast for Saturday is for a dry day, but stormy weather won't be far behind. Fingers crossed.
I hope there’s no wind for the birthday party. That hotel is bizarre looking. I wouldn’t miss it.
