Hi, Roger -

IIRC, back in the late D&RGW days and early days of the C&TS, both the Shamrock Hotel and Kelly's Café were owned by the same (presumably Irish) person, and Kelly's was a few doors south of what is now your HOTEL & SHOPS. Do you know which of those two more-or-less empty lots three or four places to the left of THE HOTEL in your video is where Kelly's was located before Vera spilled some of her "mild" chili on the concrete floor and burned the place down?
