 | | the Hilton, cheap! —Cary Clark
|
| | | I just called the top hotel on the list, the Hilton Arlington & Towers, and got a weekend rate of $89 + tax per day. This sounds like a pretty darn good rate to me. Call soon while the discounted rate applies. Cary (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
