I stayed at the Prospect Inn during the summer of 1954. The regular rooms were all rented, but the owner/manager - a nice older lady - offered me a "room" on the porch. It was tiny, just room for a single bed, a bureau/dresser and that's it. On one side it was "glassed in", and had no running water and no heat - but it was something I could afford! Looking at the hotel from the front, it was on the right, towards the rear of the porch.
I worked at Monty's first as a dishwasher and then as a bus boy. I later "graduated" to become a waiter at The Waffle Shop - where I could also get free meals!
I spent most of my money phoning my girlfriend in Virginia, whom I married
