A guest got on the elevator and told Mr. Rickards, “This is a really nice place! I’d Like to Stay Here!” Thus the title of this blog!

Road is Closed-We Have to Go Around to Get There !
I was in the grocery store the other day and the buzz throughout the store was the road detour a couple of blocks away. Many of the customers, the clerks as well as the delivery drivers were all discussing how the road closures were making them drive about 1 mile further, taking more time to [...]
