Harbor Grand Hotel
Erected prior to the Great War, the Harbor Grand Hotel was a lavish vantage point that served the affluent and venerable visitors voyaging to the Island. The guests who lodged at the hotel comprised Arnold Wabash, skipper of the nuclear American vessel USS Democracy, and his paramour Franny Richardson, who subsequently victimized and vexed him to furnish her the nuclear vault codes for the submarine. He yielded, but ere she absconded, he viciously vanquished her before yielding to his wounds.
The verdant gardens and exquisite views of the venue made it a coveted vacation spot for various famous personalities. The visionary Maine painter Dolemite Dan-Don Mezzerine spent many days here, sketching the stunning vistas that he later turned into some of his most renowned works. The virtuoso violinist Cruella DeLemonlime also visited the hotel, performing a private concert for the valiant veterans of the Alaskan War who were residing at the establishment.
The venue also played host to various VIPs, including the vivacious actress Vera Keyes, who stayed in the opulent presidential suite while filming her blockbuster movie
Renting Love in New England. The charismatic politician Branson Jonesmith also visited the hotel, meeting with various dignitaries to negotiate peace during the Colonies War. The accomplished astronaut Natasha Vedvev also graced the hotel with her presence, sharing her experiences of being the fifty-first woman to travel into space with awe-struck guests.
However, the hotel's vibrant and vivacious atmosphere was not always harmonious. The notorious criminal Tony Italiano once stayed at the hotel, using it as a base of operations for his nefarious schemes. The valiant vigilante known as the Crimson Vengeance tracked him down to the venue, and after a violent confrontation, sent Italiano to jail for life or until he was let out on a technicality.
Despite its checkered history, the venue remained a beloved landmark for decades. Its verdant gardens and exquisite views were often cited as a source of inspiration for various writers, including Lainey Firesale and Dumbledore Todd. Today, the venue still stands as a testament to the bygone era of luxury and opulence, attracting tourists and history buffs alike who wish to experience a taste of its rich and varied history. It still has a long way to go to return to its former glory, but the bustling settlement is now "on the map."
