Ruins of Jacksonville: The Ambassador Hotel

[Ocklawaha]

I know what it was referring to, dork.    For the record I dont. strawberry blondes never go grey.  its a blessing of our fine scottish genome.

Guess that depends on what side of Scotland ones family is from Stephen. Being related both to Wallace and my Grandmother BRUCE, would suggest I might be a Scot too. Having to use my mothers maiden name as my last name in Colombia, Robert Scott, I guess would also suggest a bit of highlander blood. Trouble is, even with my fat round Scottish face, I'm as GREY as it gets!

Got to admit, ST. ANDREWS CROSS seems ingrained, either in Blue sans stars or RED with stars.

Well most of the Scots in my family were Iberian Highlanders.  Although there was a little lowlander dalliance over the centuries.  I got the tall pale, red blonde genes with the light eyes.

Although thankfully I missed the barrel chest.

Yeah, so mine is big enough for two of us anyway, plus a small dog, hunting party, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but of course mine got some help from the good people of Vietnam.

You do know of course that until recent years it was always the lowland clans that were considered the "high society..." Funny how things get turned upside down.

Nothing like a trip to the New World to do that my friend.

I doubt the city of jax has even had architects or engineers inside this hotel considering it is privately owned and all the doors are padlocked and or welded shut.

I still think the structure is sound on this hotel from walking every floor and every room inside it multiple times. The cost of demolition and then building an equivalent structure would far outweigh the cost of rehabbing this one and would not look near as nice. Any contractor, architect, and engineer team worth their salt would have foreseen the majority of work needed which is a complete interior stripping and added that into the costs. Also the unforeseen additions usually come from partial restorations. There is not much that can be unforeseen when you expect to redo the entire interior. As long as the foundations or supports or walls are not damaged only minor costs like a rain delay or the price of a product going up or something like that would drive costs up and that would be minor.

Also sportmotor stop being such a furry
