I just purchased an old, glass "globe" style, exit sign at an antique store in warren while on my lunch break. When paying for my find, I was told that it was from the Whittier hotel. So, although I have no reason to doubt the word of the dealer, I'm wondering if anyone has any interior pics of the whittier that would confirm this. I realize that these exit signs were very common (the Park Shelton still had theirs last I checked) and that my goose-chase may be futile.......but if anyone can shed any light on this inquiry I'd appreciate it.

I'll try to post some pics of it later in the week if I get a chance.
thanks all

Thanks Itsjeff - I thought this was the plan for the new BC lobby though - perhaps I'm mistaken?

Itsjeff there has to be a rule about using the same joke more then once. You don’t want to become Jjaba.

When we decide to live by Merchantgander's rules of what's funny or not, it's time to pack it in.

Either those pics are a sick joke or the hotel manager had a disgusting sense of humor.
