#1 Parallel reference:
The 'Starlight Trailer Court' (mobile home park) is the starting point in "The Last StarFighter".
(I saw the name, and it rang a bell.)

#2 Starlite Lounge, Blawnox, PA. They have a sister establishment down the street called Moondogs that hosts great blues acts.

#4 Still prefer Desert Modern of the 50s Palm Springs/Palm Desert era. There have been a few notable restorations.

#6 It's been a while since I was in North Charleston, and I wish the Starlight all the best, but that town wasn't exactly vacation territory, IYKWIMAITYK.

#10 Lived there for 8 years my kids were born in Savannah, weird place

When I first relocated a dude took me to a prestigious members only club, members are allowed to eat the top floor and members with guest can eat on another floor, women are only allowed on another floor.

Watching the waiter standing between portraits Lee and Stonewall and promptly filling my tea after every sip, blew my mind

#11 Thanks for waking that memory SH; we got married in Smalltown Michigan, and packed the 70 Torino Gt for Quonset Point RI in 1973. Our wedding night was a Holiday Inn in Toledo; Smalltown bride was infatuated w/ the Magic Fingers and used all my quarters…….
Dont miss the M.F. But would like that Ford back. Still have the bridal unit.
