Kenmore Hall

    Formerly the Hotel Kenmore, where novelist Nathanael West was the night clerk; he let his literary friends sleep over for free, including Dashiell Hammett, who finished The Maltese Falcon here.

      Great place....Until Claire Haaga and HSI took over and ruined it in the late 1990s. What ever happened to Richard Simon Anglin, Sal Martinez, Wain Parker, Joe DeVito, Steve & Lonnie Kapovitch, Oneil Gray, Robert Hufstader, Willie Edmonds, Darnley Boyce and 'Little Danny' Rispolar anyway? God bless em all.

      Anglln strayed, Martinez stayed. Steve and La Ni, O'Neil, Hufstader and Wain moved on. DeVito, Edmonds, Boyce resumed their lives at the K and Danny passed to Rest In Peace after a life in Hell at the K.
