"No traffic noises." That's a nice way of poisoning the well for any other Newburg hostel near the turnpike. Do they say "no traffic noises"? No? Well, it's the Kenmar for me, then.

Did they move the planter? A brick thing like that seems as if it would all come apart in your hands, like stale cake.

I'll bet that's the smoking section. It's a safe distance from the rooms, but the risk of getting nailed by someone pulling in at night would seem to be non-trivial.

Owned and managed by W. G. Cornelius. I wonder if he had children named Kenneth and Mary.
