West Hotel Woes?
So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and booked the West Hotel. Heard mixed reviews, some saying it's a bit…dated. My biggest concern is the wifi – I'm a freelance writer and need a reliable connect… more
Stayed there last month. The wifi was…fine. Not blazing fast, but totally usable for work. I streamed a few movies, uploaded some pretty big files, no major problems. It's definitely older, yeah, but clean and the location's great. Wouldn't call it a nightmare, more of a...slightly creaky charm thing.

Geary Street especially – it used to be the place for everything from theaters to bordellos back in the day. You probably walked past a building that’s seen some serious action over the years. Finding old tailor shops tucked away isn't unusual; that area was a major garment district for a long time. Try looking into San Francisco's historical society archives – they might have photos or records of that specific alleyway or even the faded sign you saw. Lots of old city directories are online now, too. That could help you pinpoint what was there. Good luck with your sleuthing! You've definitely hit on something interesting.
