Ah, the saucer on top of the Royal Hawaiian. As a kid spending my summers in the Crest I always imagined it was some kind of cool control room, or an arcade full of the world's rarest games. Never actually went inside so I never found out!

Nice! There was and still is a lot of cool buildings in Wildwood. We always stayed at the Bonanza, which, unfortunately, has been bulldozed and turned into condominiums. I will always remember the woody smell of the lobby, and the little banjo clock on the wall....
