squawk! Tonight's post is somewhat unique, and calls for a different kind of introduction. upon a recent trip to the Hollywood tower hotel i noticed a few hidden things for you all to look out for. for all my feathered readers i would recommend perching on the concierge desk or book shelf and let the mass of frantically moving people all hurrying to bypass all the little things that make this ride truly special. for my skin covered readers i would say just hang around a bit throughout the whole queue to really find everything.
one of the first things to notice as you enter the lobby look to the wall to the right of the desk and notice that the AAA (American Automobile Association) awarded the hotel a 13 star award. . .


A guest with an im'peck'able eye for detail and a love for The Twilight Zone will notice this sign for the Tip Top Club in the lobby. Where the poor unfortunate souls from that dark stormy night long ago where heading before they found themselves. . . Misplaced. the name of the live musician playing on that night was Anthony Fremont. The name of the child in one of the more remembered episodes "it's a good life"



I decided to land on this sign for a bit and sit really still and pretend to be a prop, and just as guests got near "squawk" you should have seen their faces. ha ha ha




while i was there i had a good view of something people usually miss so be sure too look out for it while you are there. the fallen letters from the sign create a chilling word of warning to all who enter


as you walk/fly through into the library notice on top of the bookshelf the mystic seer or swami from The Twilight Zone episode "nick of time" featuring William Shatner



and a very familiar yet haunting book from the episode "To serve Man"

as you enter the ride elevator their is an inspection certificate dated to October 31st 1939. . . Halloween! also look for the signature at the bottom. recognise the name "Mr Cadwallader" from the episode "Escape clause" one of the devils many names in the popular cult classic.

Anyway I spy a tourist with a open bag of popcorn so if you will excuse me there will be more on The Tower of Terror later.
