Subject: WHO REMEMBERS THE ST GEORGE HOTEL IN IT'S GOLDEN YEARS?

.

A new website has been created to collect the memories, photos, clippings, and long-held secrets of this famous New York landmark. What do you remember? 


CLICK HERE: www.stgeorgetower.2ya.com

Come share and listen to wonderful memories, and see spectacular photo albums uploaded by our nearly 250 members from 21 states and four countries--all remembering family roots that reach all the way to one block in Brooklyn.

More important, talk to your parents and grandparents--they have great stories that we want to hear! Why not tell them they can have those memories live forever on the internet?... See what happens... Listen to them, then come tell us!

In a few clicks you can show them marvelous snapshots, gorgeous formal portraits (typically done by Nickerbocker Photo Studio on Clinton Street), charming first person memories, sensational newspaper stories and clippings, a growing collection of memorabilia, interesting facts, fun trivia (which famous people stayed there) and a few "secret stories". The current topics being discussed:

The ballrooms, in particular, The Grand Colorama Ballroom!

The 1995 Fire (one of the largest in New York history--18 alarms)

The "Godfather" Bar

And, as always, The Pool


That ought to trigger some memories! : )))


Do you or your relatives have a secret story that took place there? (winkwinkwink)

Maybe it was during the war years. Did you say goodbye or hello there?

Perhaps they had your wedding there. Click on the link above if you love Brooklyn history, or know someone who does.

Tell your senior family members that their entire photo albums will be scanned for them if they send an email to StGeorgeTower_photos@mac. Their memories are important history and need to be recorded... archived.

Those who remember the St George Hotel in the 1930s, when the tower first opened, are slipping away. We want to reach out to them especially!!! Time is of the essence! Were they one of the jazz babies dancing at the open air rooftop nightclub? (AND DO THEY HAVE PHOTOS???? <LOL>)

<major>

See you there.
