Ode to the Holidome

So we were just talking about Holiday Inn (the movie) and now here’s a CNN feature on the Holidome – the indoor pool/amusement park/party center that was a feature of many Holiday Inns (the hotel chain) in the 1970s and 1980s. Yes, the actual hotel chain was named after the inn in the Bing Crosby movie.

  1. I am impressed by the postcard map which makes it appear that Cheyenne is just up the road from Chicago.

  2. And now there’s word that the former Topeka Holidome in Kansas, vacant for several years, will be torn down and replaced with apartment buildings.
