Regarding: Former DoubleTree Suites in Plymouth Meeting to be converted into 213 apartments
I guess it is a sign of the times. The area surrounding the hotel seems to be more of a mixed use commercial /residential area than a tourist destination. At the time of moving from Kulsville the facility was certainly an urgrade to the old Holiday Inn / Best Western. Hoeever, by today's standards the place is probably in need of major infrastructure renovations. I am trying to remember was the year of the power outage the same year COVID broke out, or was that the next year? I would alwyas come home sick and dubbed it "The Fest Flu," the year of the ice storm, prior to the power going out, heat was an issue and I felt cond air coming through the HVAC vents... maintenance came up to look at it and took the panel off the HVAC component and there was black mold inside the unit.....enough said. Anyway, it holds some good memories and I always looked forward to the late winter get-away to see familar faces and play radio. By that time of the year I was always itching to do something. With Montgomery County law enforcement now being digitally encrypted, I would probably be focusing on other areas of the radio hobby than scanning. I am currently playing with Meshtastic devices and off grid networks. I hope to make another trip to the fest in the future, but the grand-kids keep me busy, not to mention snagging as much overtime as I can get,,,,I got my eyes on the exit ramp and will have no problem keeping busy in retirement. 73, Ed Muro - K2EPM Scanner Scum Alumni Association
