Dear Emma
Have you gotten rested from your busy Sunday and Thanksgiving? Hope so!
Weather’s fine and we’re having nice visit, shopping and eating. Enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving.
See you soon,
Love

Orlando readers will know that this postcard features a view from the Kahler Plaza Hotel on Rosalind that became the Metropolitan at Lake Eola. Actually, according to the Lake Eola Historic Walking Trail Guide, the Robert Meyer Hotel opened in this location on May 15, 1963. On December 1, 1972, the Robert Meyer Motor Inn became the Kahler Plaza Inn, was later the Harley Hotel, and then joined the Sheraton chain. It was later converted into the Metropolitan.
Also, the bandshell depicted is the third in a series of four, the last being the Walt Disney Amphitheater, built in 1989. And you've probably noticed that Lee's Lakeside and Apartments are the only building in view.
I did find an O'Brien genealogical forum, so I will update if I find out about that busy Sunday.
