Back from trip; Ship Hotel book signings set

My 10-day trip south was fun but left no time for blog updates. Lots to catch up on including the scheduling of three signings of my new book, The Ship Hotel: A Grand View along the Lincoln Highway.

FRI, April 16, 7–8:30 pm: B&N Waterfront, Homestead PA

SAT, April 17, 10–Noon: Coffee Bean coffeehouse, 5345 Rt 30, across from Westmoreland Mall, Greensburg PA

SAT, April 17, 2:30–4 pm: newly restored Union Hotel, 128 E. Main St., Everett PA

The non-profit Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor is coordinating the two on Saturday and will have books available for purchase with cash or check. Coffee mugs and t-shirts featuring vintage pictures of the Ship Hotel will also be for sale along with my other books on the Lincoln Highway and roadside attractions. Sales benefit the non-profit LHHC.

I’m looking at calendars and maps, seeing if we can swing a Retro Roadmap visit to one of these!

In 1998 I was traveling home from a convention in Greensburg. I decided to take Rt 30 to Bedford as a shortcut to the turnpike. I knew nothing about the Lincoln Highway. I discovered that Rt.30 was no time saver, but it was a very enjoyable drive. And along the way I saw the Ship Hotel! I had seen it once on a TV documentary, but I didn’t recall where it was located. I stopped and took pictures, and sadly, that would be my only opportunity to see this interesting place.
