WHITE tableclothes ... fine dining ... and the 9 hole golf course next to the hotel. WHAT HAPPENED is that San Bernardino decided they wanted Hospitality Lane off the I-10 to be the gateway to the city and so the classy businesses moved over there. Hospitality Lane and the hotels over there killed off the Holiday Inn. There was always SOME Spanish in SB, but it seems it has increased and the white folks have moved out. That deserted mall downtown is a huge eyesore!!!William F.

Looks better but not<br />exactly the old Holiday Inn.<br /><br />For a while it was a place for transients<br />with room rates to match--low low.<br />Looked like welfare city for many many<br />years. The old KFXM studio building is<br />still there with slight reminders of what<br />it was. I'll always remember that place<br />and what it meant to so many listeners<br />and those who passed through it's<br />hallways.

A new station playing <br />the rock hits. They had a great<br />gimmick. Putting callers on the air<br />requesting songs. Not novel idea<br />but it worked for me. I called and<br />was confused why I didn't hear myself<br />on the air. Didn't know about delays<br />and such. I hung around to listen.<br />Pleasantly surprised. <br /><br />Happy Happy old KMEN.<br />"Those were the days, my friend, we<br />thought they'd never end. ........:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-35694583857533632572010-03-10T07:28:34.049-08:002010-03-10T07:28:34.049-08:00KFXM 590, now KTLK, is also known
