Starts with "J"

JEROME Grand Hotel AZ


Overlooking the Verde Valley, the hotel is one of the highest buildings in the area. Five stories tall, the building is made out of concrete.
Originally built as the United Verde Hospital in the late 1920s, stories of supposed spirits lingering around the property were reported early on.
Back in this era the town's main attraction was its copper mining business, which would eventually come to a close in 1950. For years the town would wither away, only to come alive again in the 1970s.

JUNK

Tom is killing me with his weekly challenge words. It was impossible for me to get a JUNK related beer photo, although I tried!

So I settled for a JUNK boat in Hong Kong.



But not to be defeated, here is a beer on the same trip, on a boat, on the Li River in China!

3. Juice or Juicy

For the letter of the week for this round I am going to go with all things TTC, Toronto Transit Corporation.

Starts with "J"

Jane subway station is not an inspiring one.

The station's street entrances lead directly into the bus platform area in a layout that would not allow it to be readily brought into the station's fare-paid area. Until 1973 this was largely irrelevant because the station was on a fare zone boundary and the subway trains and some of the buses serving it were in separate zones.





FAVOURITE

Along Humber Bay on Lake Ontario there is a butterfly garden and within the garden are rocks stenciled with 26 words of the alphabet.




JUICE or JUICY
