    dam never knew the hotel in Coal harbor has been there for so long …cool photos , thx for sharing

  • Loo Ganida

    that green area is that little “park” that has the concrete 100, and on the other side is a tennis court.

  • kk

    that’s the Bayshore hotel. A certain Mr. Howard Hughes was the penthouse resident for a time.

    check those big black toxic waste tanks to the left! that’s probably a park now.. :)

  • Vivian Guan
