SENATOR MOTEL, Augusta ME

 

 

 

 

Yes, a motel bar in the restaurant section. Well, it has to go somewhere. It's the TOP HAT LOUNGE where, as usual, everyone has been shooed out so they can take the picture.

I guess you're supposed to imagine yourself in this place with the right people. Or just alone, if you're like that. As good as the furniture looks, it was probably uncomfortable for extended periods - those cushions slid out from under you, made it hard to get up - and the chairs didn't encourage a comfortable slump.

Big mirror on the ceiling with lights for that big-city show-bar touch.

Bravo to the photographer for getting the angle just right: you see the mirrors and the reflection the "upper level," giving it the illusion of much more depth than it had.

"Let's go to this bar! It has an upper level."
