Exploring an Abandoned Hotel in Southern California
Recently had the chance to explore a hotel in Southern California that's been abandoned since 1939. It's totally unbelievable - check it out to see a full picture tour.

It does look suspiciously like the twilight zone tower of tower at disneyland.

Heh. I'm going to trick my wife with this as revenge for her getting me to go on that stupid ride.

This is the queue for the Hollywood Tower Hotel, aka The Tower of Terror.

Saw this first on the Blue (I don't check Projects that often) and I just wanted to say I totally fell for it. Although in my defense, I've never been to the Tower of Terror. Nicely done.

But does this mean I'm going to have to turn my skepticism meter up to 11 not just on April 1 itself, but for a week before and after from now on? I'm still not entirely convinced that today's "proper nouns to be allowed in Scrabble" story isn't a late April Fools' joke.

I had a feeling it was too good to be true.
