To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Hotel Arcade 2010

My cousin Guy Daines IV lives in Tarpon Springs Florida and sent these photos of the Old Hotel Arcade as it looks today, which isn't a lot different. He also sent this message:

Jodi,

I took a couple of pictures of the former Arcade Hotel in Tarpon. It is no longer a hotel. It is still called Tarpon Arcade, but it is retail shops & restaurants. Funny thing is, I didn't even know that it used to be a hotel. When I saw the pic on the postcard I knew exactly where it was.

I also sent a photo of Rotary Field. It was the only softball field in Tarpon back then and it is only a short walk from that building. *I used to play in a couple of softball leagues on that field also. Pretty amazing.

Dad didn't even know Pop ever stayed in Tarpon or played ball here.

Thought you might like to see what both currently look like over 70 years later.

Take care,

Guy
