" I remember
when..." now you fill in the blanks. Forty
years of being in business has brought us a lot of joy and
stories.
I found some funny hotel regulations and guest guidelines
that were in vogue around the turn of the century. The ones listed
below were found at Highland Resort in North Truro which is now part of
Highland Light Museum. (Check it out when your on the Cape.) I
find the bluntness refreshing if not a bit sarcastic. See which ones you
have violated on the past couple of vacations.
-
Don't wear heavy clothing or fashionable silks at the
sea shore. Wear comfortable clothes and you will be
correspondingly happy.
-
Don't try to beat the hotel keeper and don't think he is
trying to beat you; he is just as anxious to have your vacation a
pleasant one a you are to enjoy it.
-
Don't go to a mountain or seashore resort on a hot
midsummer day, dusty, weary and hungry and immediately rush out over the
country in an effort to see how miserable you can make yourself.
Rest, dine and spend at least a day in taking in the situation.
-
Don't blame the heat and the cold and every evil under
the sun on the hotel keeper.
-
Don't be selfish, there are other people in the world
besides ourselves.
-
don't engage in rooms at a summer hotel and at the last
moment write that you cannot come, hotel managers are only human.
-
Don't in departing leave any of your things.
-
Don't expect free rides to and from the station to meet
friends or to see them off.
-
Don't be exclusive
-
Don't fuss
-
Don't arrive at a strange hotel after dark if you can
avoid it.
-
don't go to a summer hotel in mid August for a week's
stay and expect to find the best rooms in the house awaiting you.
Here are some pictures to take you
back a bit. Some date back in the 60's before we purchased the
Corsair. Others are from the 70's and 80's. Recognize some
of the guests or staff members in these pictures? Send us yours
(and your stories) and we'll put them up for all to see. (If you
find a picture of yourself here and want it taken down please let me
know.)

Do
you recognize any of these people from our Spring Fling in 1991?
The Lobby and my shortie shorts in the late 80's!
A fire left a lot of smoke damage when an employee
through a blanket over a heater unit when we were trying to get the
building open for the season.
The Cross Rip Oceanfront kitchens - a modern
convenience! 
Boy, does this sign need a little work.
Two famous housekeepers that retired. Know who they
are?
Mom never looked better! Suit fashions in the
70's 
 .Ok,
the 90's were a little different for Mom.  Postcards
from before our time. The pictures was taken in the 60's. Do
you think the guests by the pool were posing? 
The Corsair pool was fenced-in when the law came into effect to protect
children.
The Corsair sitting rooms once were porches. That multicolor feature
was quite the attraction. 
Under construction for the bow fronts added to the oceanfront rooms.
