Jitterbug!! Wow…boy would I love to sit with you to hear about your earlier visits to Portland. As you can tell that place is my obsession. And yes, from the photos I’m finding, I can tell the hotel and restaurant were beautiful.

I read somewhere that the circular thatched-roof cottages were $119 a night back in the fifties. That price came with everything…transportation, a wait and cleaning staff, food and drinks. I guess you can say one of the first all-inclusive accommodations.
