Fordham is going to the Cotton Bowl? Cool!
How young do you have to be to stay at the William Sloane House for 75 cents a night?
and of course every Chrysler should have a Vacamatic Transmission!
I don't know, but I stayed in the Young Men's Christian Association hotel in San Francisco, and it was quite inexpensive. The rooms are clean, and the building is only 12 years old.
If you there's no vacancy at the Sloane House, you might try the Hotel Pennsylvania, just a short distance away. That's a good place for entertainment--in the Cafe Rouge, you can catch performances by Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, and other big-name entertainers. The phone number is PE6-5000. That's easy to remember, and it's a safe bet that the number will be the same 70 years from now.
