Larry : Despite the name, this place is actually still open. Sitting in its dreary urban setting this sign is like a blooming flower emerging from its planter box under the melting snow. (Of course, there is actually no snow depicted in our photo.)

Brett: This sign saddens me. I imagine that back in the day this was a swinging place that was ultra cool to stay at. The sign itself appears to have no parallel lines which creates a striking "visual dissonance" (thanks Larry) in relation to it's stark surroundings.

Larry : The clock also is a great convenience for those not staying too long. Look at that man. He seems so relaxed about life. Wouldn't you agree?

Brett : Yeah, but I think he's secretly vice. My question is this, if you were claustrophobic would you want to stay here? Klose-In? Huh? Would you?

Larry : Good point, Brett. "Klose" with a "K" too. Hmmm...what are they really saying?

Brett : I don't know if they intended the creepy racial overtones. I would like to think that they were keeping with the theme of no parallel lines that seems to be the motif of the design.
