Hmmmmmm. Hookers? Thought they were abandoned prom-dates. Come to
think about it---nevermind.

Here's a rule of thumb on Summer: when you see the whatevers, you've
gone too far.

And down around too far was the Alamo Plaza, a quaintly-named tourist
court that predated Holiday Inns. The individual cabins looked like
adobe but were probably whitewashed Mississippi mud. It didn't have
hourly rates but even then the sheets were hot. Both the Alamo Plaza
and the Holiday Inn are long gone.
