That color scheme, which I agree is nice, also apparently means “firehouse”
to the mundanes. At every show it’s been to, I hear someone in the crowd say
something about the “firestation”. Despite the lack of bay doors, and the
shops on the first floor, etc. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I
do to clue people in to a building’s purpose? Maybe a sign with the hotel’s
name on it?

Very nice! Good sources of inspiration :)

Well, you see, I had this book...

A sign with the hotel’s name couldn’t hurt. I built a sign into a side
wall of my Hotel Columbia that seems to get the point across (althought that
one isn’t red). A large rooftop sign would be neato, the Statler originally
had one. Also a marquee over the entrances could possibly help.
Again, nice work!

Thanks! I’m not even sure why, but so far, I’ve avoided marquees. I guess I
should try building one and see if I like it. The rooftop sign idea, I like a
lot, as I’ve been meaning to make some billboards for other buildings for a
while.

| I'd go with a roof sign for now. Maybe you could even put some real lighted bricks on it! BTW.. love the hotel. Hope to see it in person soon. John (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)
