WINDRIFT MOTEL, Hyannis MA
   
 

Hyannis, where the wind . . . rifts, I guess. “New 40 unit ultra modern motel set back from highway, inn-room coffee, guest lounge with color TV.” Meaning, it’s black-and-white in the rooms. The card, from Helen and Bill, sent to Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Brown in East Heddam Conn., says:

“Hi: Got here Tuesday around 2 PM. Weather is grand and enjoying stay. Expect to be home Thursday. Bob called up Mon. night to come up so we change our plans.”

Nowadays they’d use a cellphone to send such a vital message, but with fewer vowels.

The modern exterior was somewhat belied by the interiors, visible here.
