I had scanned it and put it away without proper notes. Oh no! Can we ever find the city? Of course: O'Neil's Department store probably means Ohio, and Mayflower means Akron.
The Mayflower Hotel had the usual trajectory. Low-income housing now. From its website:
"The Mayflower Hotel hit both its highest and lowest points during the 1960s. In 1961, George Maharis and Martin Milner came to Akron for the twenty-fourth All-American Soapbox Derby. They, along with the soapbox racers and other celebrities, found the Mayflower to be the perfect place to stay."
