Its period fixtures, superior acoustics, and excellent sight lines attracted renowned artists from around the country. The open house gave the 150 visitors an opportunity to tour the Sorg, including the balcony, dressing rooms under the stage and its commercial building. The original Sorg Opera House sign that recently was uncovered was displayed in the lobby. Five years ago, the Sorg was named to the 2016 list of Ohio’s Most Endangered Historic Sites, a designation the non-profit organization SORG hoped would help raise money for the building’s rebirth. The Puppy Pals LIVE Comedic Stunt Dog Show is a hilarious presentation for the whole family and the dog lover in all of us, and this special fun-filled spectacle stars mostly rescued dogs. From shelters to showbiz, these pooches perform spectacular stunts and breathtaking feats.

Comedy Night with Jeff Jena and Friends

Full of surprises and laugh-out-loud canine comedy, this performance appeals to children of all ages. In every performance, we invite the audience to take part in the show and maybe even step up on the stage. Although the renovations were quite an undertaking, The Sorg has been revived to its original grandeur. The theatre officially reopened in late 2017 with a performance called Celebrate the Sorg, featuring the Butler Philharmonic Orchestra.

Armco Night At The Movies

Check out Middletown’s daily activities, or spend the day shopping at unique, locally owned retail shops just a few streets over. Since then, the opera house, constructed in 1890 and designed by architect Samuel Hannaford, who also designed the nearby Sorg Mansion, has experienced major renovations. Once considered another empty historic building in downtown Middletown, the Sorg Opera House has been rejuvenated, survived the coronavirus pandemic and is flourishing, said Nancy Griffith, board president of the Sorg Opera Revitalization Group (SORG).

The movie critic of the Cleveland Plain Dealer praised the film on its release, “…for perfection in all departments (camera work, editing, narration, etc.).” The print being shown is a recently restored version made possible with a grant from the National Film and Preservation Foundation. The Sorg Opera House, for over a century, attracted some of the country's finest dramatic and musical acts. Once again the theater’s goal is to entertain, enrich, and inspire our community. Hear about the legends that have graced the stage to the current efforts to preserve a piece of historical history in downtown Middletown.

Visitors will also learn about the current ongoing restoration work on the theater, what SORG has accomplished so far, upcoming shows, and how they can help with future restoration efforts. Art Central Foundation is pleased to welcome the incomparable Rubi Girls to the stage of the historic Sorg Opera House for our annual Drag Me to Brunch fundraiser this year! We anticipate a big crowd for this one, so brunch will be an add-on ticket to the show with limited availability and will be held at Art Central Foundation's event space. The Rubi Girls will be performing a PG13 show for us, just like the movies, so content is appropriate for those 13 and over if accompanied by a parent. Whether he’s tackling the issues of race and activism in America today or confronting his past with stories of family, relationships, wrestling, and more, this is pure Tyrus at his unbridled best. The parallels he draws between current culture and his personal past are insightful, provocative, and profound.

Wesley Williams leads the puppies through a show full of surprises and laugh-out-loud canine comedy. Join Tyrus for a Meet & Greet after the show where you can get a photo and autograph. His New York Times best selling memoir “Just Tyrus” and pre-order “Nuff Said” which comes out in November will be for sale at the event as well. Proceeds from the concert and 50/50 raffle will benefit Middletown Rotary’s charitable projects which include helping local children through school based programs and community organizations like Sleep In Heavenly Peace and Abilities First.

In 1901, The Sorg began showing early forms of motion pictures, such as photo plays, and vaudeville performances before the operas. The live shows were discontinued in the late 1920s, and in the summer of 1929 a sound system was installed, turning the Sorg into a full time movie theater. Soon after, the Friends of the Sorg group was formed to reopen it as a live performance venue.

Hot coming off of the heels of his last sold out comedy tour Tyrus is ready to entertain again with fresh new material but the same old common sense. Kevin Martin, chief curator of library collections at the Hagley Museum and Library, and Sam Ashworth, trustee and past president of the Middletown Historical Society, co-host the event. This performance is made possible in part by generous grants from the Middletown Community Foundation.

Bringing It Back to Life

Since this celebration, The Sorg has continued to fill its theatre with a variety of performances and shows. Middletown’s first multi-millionaire, Paul J. Sorg, had the opera house built as a gift to his hometown. Samuel Hannaford, who designed the Cincinnati Music Hall, was hired to design the 1,200-seat opera house. The historic Sorg Opera House is located in the heart of revitalized downtown Middletown.

The all NEW Nuff Said Comedy Tour is a powerful reflection on a complex life and a complicated world and a man that uses laughter to achieve his goals. Join us for a free event highlighting ARMCO’s past through a series of historically important films. A SORG Gift Card is only valid for ticket purchases, not at the concession stand. This historical gem not only has the history of more than 100 years of plays, acts, and standing ovations living inside its walls... But it also contains the legacy of those who have restored it back to it’s amazing glory. “That’s why we want to save these old theaters— to be able to step back into an era, with all the details, the glitz, the sight lines and the acoustics...

They were successful, and ran the theater until 2010, when a water main break forced the opera house to close again. In 2012, the Sorg Opera Revitalization Group (SORG) formed to buy and reopen the building. Ricky Nelson, the original "teen idol," remains a chart topper and trail blazer to this day! The multi-talented Nelson starred along side his family in the TV series The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet, co-starred with John Wayne and Dean Martin in Rio Bravo, and placed a whopping 53 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, a new feature at the time. His single "Poor Little Fool" is considered to be the first number one song on the chart. After 19 more top ten hits, he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1987 and is ranked #49 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Stars Of All Time.

I think it’s for the next generation to be able to come in and see this kind of stuff," Chuck Miller, SORG President, told the Cincinnati Business Courier. In January 1935, a fire caused $10,000 worth of damage— which would have been $185,298 today— which caused The Sorg to close for several months. The Sorg closed again for a remodel in the late 1940s and a false ceiling was added, separating the upper balcony from the the rest of the theater to improve the sound. A historical gem with 100+ years of performances and standing ovations.

Count Down to Start Up (1970) follows the start-up process of ARMCO’s first fully automatic cold strip steel mill in Middletown. Their vision was to restore the building back to a beautiful and thriving theatre; filling the grand ballroom with patrons, entertainers, educators, and employees. The photo below is a postcard picture of  The Talkies debut  in 1929 at The Sorg Opera House on Main Street. Ami Vitori, owner of Gracie’s, a downtown restaurant, said when there are weekend shows at the Sorg business increases tremendously. The Sorg Opera Revitalization Group is pairing cupcakes with signature cocktails!

The theater is within walking distance from bustling entertainment, breweries, and bars allowing you turn your trip to the Sorg Theater into a whole day of fun. A lifetime Middletown resident, Griffith said she understands why skeptics were leery when it came to the rebirth of the Sorg. She spoke last week to the Rotary Club and the members were surprised when she told them the opera house has no employees. Each tour will include a discussion of the history of the theater, with looks at the exterior features, lobby, theater, balconies, projection booth, backstage and downstairs dressing area. The tour lasts about an hour and a half, and will be led by a SORG volunteer.

Here are 16 of SoCal’s best places to order from a drive-thru. It's more than what people think of when they hear 'pub'; they have an entire dining room and a gift/import food shop attached--as well as ample outdoor space. Legendary plant-based chef Matthew Kenney transformed a former Del Taco into a completely vegan fast-food restaurant in 2021 and kept the drive-thru intact. Veg’d serves plant-based American fare with burgers, fries, smoothies, and more, like a kung pao bowl with cauliflower with tofu and zucchini. Morning bites include the breakfast sandwich with Just Egg, jack “cheese,” green chiles, avocado, Tater Tots, and green chile salsa. The drive-thru is pretty ancient and the food isn’t as fast as one would think, but that just means the food will be hot, fresh, and really tasty right out of the bag.

That’s correct, Piara Pizza’s South LA location actually serves pizza in a drive-thru capacity. It seems like the perfect addition to SoCal’s drive-thru culture where standard pies with deep dish are available, along with wings and garlic cheese bread. You’ll always be greeted with a warm hello and a smile by our lovely staff. Also, be sure to ask about our $4 Irishman Blonde and FREE fresh popped popcorn.

The 100 best dishes and drinks in Los Angeles

Specializing in “The Perfect Pint,” we feature Guinness Draught as one of the premium beers served on tap. Originally opened in 1969, this underground pub highlights several varieties of whiskey and is accompanied by a food menu offering both traditional Irish dishes as well as sports-bar staples. Lucy’s is a Mid-City neighborhood spot, the kind of classic do-it-all restaurant that runs around the clock with quality burgers, fish and chips, and fries. There are also Mexican combination platters, tostadas, tacos, and what may be the most underrated breakfast burrito in Los Angeles. Southern California’s massive network of freeways and wide boulevards made the perfect backdrop for its drive-thru culture to prosper, especially after In-N-Out Burger introduced the two-way speaker box in 1948. Even today, LA’s drive-thru restaurants continue to thrive in communities all over greater LA with one iconic stop showcasing a La Puente building with a drive-thru connected by two giant chocolate donuts.

What could possibly be better than driving through a giant replica of a doughnut while picking up a box of actual doughnuts? If any children are in the car, it’s guaranteed they will lose their minds. Before he was a teenager, Reilly became an underground legend.

This local institution has been featured in such movies as Leaving Las Vegas, Patriot Games, and Life Without Dick, and has a long standing tradition of showcasing the finest musical talent in the Los Angeles area. Radio is a hybrid coffee shop and beer garden in South Austin, with a Veracruz All Natural truck conveniently parked out back.

His name was whispered in back alleys and speakeasies across the nation, and songs were sung to tell of his tales. The style of these songs would later become known as Rock and Roll and the tunes can still be heard today, blaring out of the Irish rock pub that bears his name. When he was three years old, prohibition hit the United States and Reilly became enraged at the thought of Americans going thirsty. Hell–bent on supplying illegal spirits to the American people, he stowed away on a whiskey boat bound for the dry nation. Reilly was now in a strange land, armed with nothing but a family recipe for Irish whiskey and a smuggler’s wit. He quickly organized a gang of misfits known as the Black Eye Society and took over the routes of the nation’s milkmen.

We are located just off the main street in HB on Olive and 5th street. The walls of the pub are covered by over 70 paintings by noted Irish portrait painter Neil Boyle. These portraits depict both notable Irish figures and longtime Molly Malone’s patrons and staff.

Just a few steps from the Hermosa Beach Pier on Pier Plaza, Patrick Molloy’s is an Irish inspired sports bar in Hermosa Beach, California, that provides a European pub atmosphere with an American flair. Showing sports on 30+ flat screen TVs, we carry every sports package imaginable. St. Elmo Brewing Company is where to go in South Austin for great beers, a huge patio, and Spicy Boys for fried chicken. It’s easy to dismiss celebrity-driven restaurants let alone one that skews plant-based. But in early 2023, actor Kevin Hart opened his flagship location of Hart House in Hollywood with a drive-thru. It’s here where staff prepare house-made plant-based chicken sandwiches, nuggets, and burgers, along with a fairly impressive oat milk chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or Oreo shake.

This enabled him to deliver whiskey in cleverly disguised milk bottles right to people’s front doors. Molly Malone’s has been owned and operated by the same Irish family for 45 years. Walking in, you’d think a Dublin Pub had been miraculously transported to Los Angeles.

Boba Ave 8090 is a far better choice than queuing up at a random Starbucks drive-thru. The menu includes boba varieties including jasmine, brown sugar, and purple sweet potato, along with popcorn-fried chicken. Though there’s plenty on the menu at Pasadena's classic drive-thru, Top’s is all about the pastrami. As far as greasy spoons go, Hungry Horse is one of Long Beach’s favorites.

Experience a Los Angeles landmark, which for over 40 years has brought the city of Los Angeles some of the best local and Irish music within an authentic Irish pub environment. Gallaghers is an Irish Pub with Great Food and Live Entertainment in Long Beach, Come and Experience food , drinks and live entertainment. In 1995 the pub was was rechristened Draught Horse under new ownership. A 7bbl brewing system was added and the number of beer taps was increased to 74. Josh Wilson, formerly at the (now closed) Bitter End Brewery took over brewing operations. In 1999, ownership changed again and the Draught Horse changed back to the Draught House.

The Auld Dubliner has the warmth and feel of a small village pub in rural Ireland. Live Irish entertainment is featured on a regular basis with local and touring Irish bands performing Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. With more than 4 stars on all the review sites, our customers, speak very highly of our beers, food and mostly the warm service. We ordered two orders of fish and chips a couple weeks ago, and it was yummy.

The Irishman in beautiful Huntington Beach California, you’ll find nothing but a true Irish experience. From the perfectly poured pint of Guinness to the wide selection of premium authentic Irish Whiskey. The Auld Dubliner offers authentic Irish faire and premium beers and spirits, with a menu selection ranging from the traditional corned beef and cabbage, Beef Stew, and Shepherd’s Pie, to Rack of Lamb and grilled Salmon.

Ask for a little extra salsa for the breakfast burritos, chunky and just tangy enough to add a spicy kick. This Granada Hills drive-thru staple opened its first location in 1972 and has staying power thanks to its quality burgers, patty melts, soft serves, and shakes. But the massive majestic pastrami cheeseburger is best savored with a dining partner.

I remember going to this pub for the first time over 30 years ago. It was directly across the street from my first electronic jobs, at a stereo shop. I would go over here for lunch and have the most delectable shepherd's pie and fish and chips I've ever had anywhere onthe planet! They've also got a lot of other really great British meals here and I mean this is really authentic. Top it off with a frosty cold bass ale, and you're good for the rest of the afternoon. The food is excellent, the drink are top notch, the staff is friendly and professional and the atmosphere is as close to authentic as I've experienced in Southern California.

Cosmic Coffee is a coffee shop and bar with a huge patio where you can bring your dog and eat great barbecue from Leroy and Lewis. Draught House’s tap selection is one of the best in Austin (and definitely in Rosedale) and its vibes will make even a non-beer lover happy.

Burgers and sandwiches

Pull up to the drive-thru and order charbroiled burgers, sandwiches, traditional breakfast, and teriyaki bowls or platters.

For decades, Inglewood’s Randy’s Donuts has maintained a walk-up plus a drive-thru. Thanks to Randy’s popularity and availability (this location is open 24 hours), both include long wait times that are worth it. Go for the classic glazed, buttermilk, or cereal-sprinkled variety. Born during a bar fight in Devlin, Ireland, Reilly came into this world swinging. The first day of his life, he lost an eye, took a man’s life, and developed an insatiable appetite for whiskey. Though the local Irish population has diminished, O’Brien’s has evolved to appeal to locals, but still retains that warm authentic feel of a real Irish Pub.

O’Malley’s on Main Pub and Restaurant is Seal Beach’s premiere, authentic Irish pub. But, if you just want a quiet drink or meal, hear a story, from one of our experienced friendly bartenders, meet friends, or make new ones, there’s no better place.

Ashley Aultman is the Interpretive Ranger at Roosevelt’s Little White House State Historic Site. He has always been interested in the life and legacy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He graduated with honors from Bainbridge High School in his hometown Bainbridge, Georgia, and then continued his education at Georgia Southwestern State University. Ashley’s interest in interpretation started with an internship at Andersonvillle NHS and a seasonal position at the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt NHS in Hyde Park, NY. Ashley began his career with PRHS at New Echota in 1997 as the interpretive ranger.

Roosevelt's Little White House State Historic Site

The Little White House was also used when President John F. Kennedy chose it as his Winter White House in 1961. The president spent a whopping 45 days in the House before he had to attend to important matters in Washington. The Marshall Plan was a comprehensive plan to help rebuild the economies of Europe, which had been devastated by World War II. The plan was proposed by Secretary of State George Marshall in 1947 during President Truman’s presidency.

A Proclamation on National Small Business Week, 2024

Because Roosevelt was nationally prominent, his visit assured publicity for Warm Springs. By his return in 1925, other patients were coming in the hope of a cure. In 1926, he bought the resort property and 1,200 acres from George Peabody for some $200,000. Seeking medical advice and contributions from his friends, he organized the nonprofit Warms Springs Foundation in 1927 turning property over to the foundation.

The artist Elizabeth Shoumatoff rolled up the painting, never to touch it again. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was truly a man of the people who was willing to try anything possible to make things better for his fellow Americans during some of the most trying times in our history. Today, the “Unfinished Portrait” is featured in a museum that showcases many exhibits, including FDR’s 1938 Ford convertible with hand controls, his Fireside Chats playing over a 1930s radio, his stagecoach, and a theater. Visitors can tour FDR’s home, which has been carefully preserved very much as he left it, the servants and guest quarters, and the nearby pools complex that first brought the future president to Warm Springs.

Harry S. Truman •

The house was designed in 1889 by Scott, McDermott & Higgs, a local architectural firm.[2] The wooden duplex contained Quarters A for the base commandant and Quarters B for the paymaster. Between 1946 and 1952, Truman spent a total of 175 days residing and working at the Little White House. Step back into the era of Harry Truman and explore his personal belongings, including the living quarters where he and Bess resided, original furnishings, personal effects, and much more.

Visiting Roosevelt’s Little White House

In 1980, Roosevelt’s Little White House and Historic Pools and springs became part of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources State Parks and Historic Sites. Today, the Roosevelt’s Little White House remains the same as it was the day the president died. Important visitors have included extended stays by inventor Thomas Edison and scientist Edward Hayden and it has been used by six American presidents. Its most important usage was as the winter White House of Harry S. Truman who spent 175 days of his presidency here from 1946 through 1952. Harry Truman faced the rebuilding of Europe, the Palestine question, issues of Civil Rights and labor unrest changes in foreign policy and our response to the Cold War.

The Little White House was originally approached from the cottage area of the rehabilitation center via an unpaved road; it was more secluded than it is today. It was at the Little White House, while sitting for his portrait, where Roosevelt suffered a stroke in April 1945 and died shortly after. Roosevelt was only able to go to Warm Springs for infrequent short visits during World War II. He returned to Warm Springs for the last time near the end of the war in March of 1945. Just back from the Yalta Conference, he planned to work on the address with which he would open the United Nations Conference.

He’d arrived to inspect the world-renowned Panama Canal, built during his presidency. He established a Presidential Committee on Civil Rights, which recommended significant reforms to address discrimination and racism in America. Truman also issued executive orders desegregating the military and federal agencies.

10 minutes south, tour the life-changing Warm Springs Historic District, where FDR swam for therapy. The first President to visit the site was William Howard Taft in December 1912.[3] He arrived by Flagler's Overseas Railroad and stayed in Key West before sailing to Panama to inspect the canal then under construction. During World War I, Thomas Edison resided in the house while donating his service to the war effort.[3] He perfected 41 underwater weapons during his six-month stay.[3] The house remained command headquarters through World War II. The Harry S. Truman Little White House in Key West, Florida was the winter White House for President Harry S. Truman for 175 days during 11 visits. The house is located in the Truman Annex neighborhood of Old Town, Key West. William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, made use of the Little White House when he visited in 1912.

Truman rested and relaxed in November 1946
returning for a total of 11 working vacations lasting 175 days until March 1952. Key West was an integral part of anti submarine warfare throughout the Cold War period from 1946 to 1974 with numerous American and Allied sailors trained here. The first cottage that Roosevelt had built in 1927 was quaint and comfortable but small. He built it before he reentered politics and, as governor of New York, he needed more room for guests, family, and official business. About this time, in 1928, FDR re-entered the political arena to run for Governor of New York. For a more detailed history of the House and Truman’s time spent here, you can take a tour of the premises Every day from 9 AM – 5 PM.

From Atlanta, take I-85 south for just over an hour, exiting at GA-85 S. The home rests on a quiet residential street just off the main highway through town. Other well-known politicians and celebrities also made their way to Key West to visit the house. Among them were former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and even Harry Truman’s wife’s Uncle Eddie.

The Administration

In January 1953, Harry S. Truman left the Presidency and retired to Independence. For the nearly two decades of his life remaining to him, he spent his days reading, writing, lecturing and taking long brisk walks. He took particular satisfaction in founding and supporting his Library, which made his papers available to scholars, and which opened its doors to everyone who wished to have a glimpse of his remarkable life and career. In 1950, President Harry S. Truman announced that he was ordering U.S. air and naval forces to South Korea to aid the democratic nation in repulsing an invasion by communist North Korea. On July 27, 1953, after two years of negotiation, an armistice was signed, ending the war and reestablishing the 1945 division of Korea that still exists today.

He also began to explore the countryside and towns meeting the local folks. It was here that Roosevelt got his first glimpse of rural southern poverty and it left a very strong impression on him. There was little fanfare during his first visit, but Cleburne Gregory of the Atlanta Journal came down to find out what the former Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Vice Presidential candidate was doing in this neck of the woods. Roosevelt did not want any press coverage but agreed to an interview. The article is notable for many reasons, but mainly for the first time in three years FDR said that he was able to move his right leg. He also commented on the beauty of the area and the hospitality he received, what he called “the Spirit of Warm Springs.” He would come to rely upon these qualities, this spirit, for the next 21 years.

In the 1980s, Key West underwent a transformation and became a tourist destination, where President Jimmy Carter and President Bill Clinton sought relaxation. The president had various duties during his stay, including attending to important state affairs and plowing through the numerous papers that piled up on his desk. It is said that he composed some of his most critical speeches in the living room of this house.

Truman created the committee with legislation passed by Roosevelt in 1941. Roosevelt’s legislation made discrimination with the federal government or defense industries based on race, color, creed, or origin illegal. In 1948, Joint Chiefs of Staff met at the Truman Little White House and merged the Departments of War and the Navy, creating the Key West Accord. This was a major step toward defining the differences between the military services over their respective roles and missions. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed the Economic Assistance Act, which authorized the creation of a program that would help the nations of Europe recover and rebuild after World War II. Most commonly known as the Marshall Plan, it aimed to stabilize Europe economically and politically so that European nations would not be tempted by the appeal of communist parties.

Influenced by his experiences in this rural area, President Roosevelt developed New Deal programs, such as the Rural Electrification Administration. The Little White House Historic Site offers a uniquely intimate peek into the daily life of one of America’s most influential leaders. Touring FDR’s preserved personal retreat provides stirring insights into the man behind the legend during pivotal times in our nation’s history. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first to stay at the Little White House in 1932, and since then, many presidents have followed in his footsteps. President Dwight D. Eisenhower stayed at the Little White House in 1955 and 1956 during his terms in office.

These places, wired to receive instantaneous communications, also featured Secret Service agents and state-of-the-art security systems. These retreats have effectively become smaller versions of the White House itself, since the work of a president never truly ceases, regardless of surroundings. Get an inside look at presidential history at Little White House Historic Site in Warm Springs, Georgia.

Warm Springs Historic District is adjacent to the small Georgia town that is its namesake. The population grew with the advancement of the railroad, and by the 1830’s, it was the site of a summer resort and a village. In 1893, Charles Davis constructed the Victorian 300-room Meriwether Inn with resort pools, a dance pavilion, bowling alley, tennis court, and trap shooting. The water flowing from the hillside of Pine Mountain was used to create the resort pools. By the turn of the 20th century, the town of Warm Springs and the resort were in decline. The last thing you’ll see is the actual unfinished painting that Madame Elizabeth Shoumatoff was working on at the time.

After hearing the news, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom described feeling as though he had "been struck a physical blow." The six-room house was built for nearly $8,738 in the 1930s, which would be over $160,000 today. The 1900s saw the Key West Naval station grow in importance as the
headquarters of the Seventh Naval District encompassing all the State of
Florida. A very early submarine base was established here as well as one
of the first Naval Air Stations equipped with blimps and seaplanes. Inventor Thomas Edison resided in the house for six months in 1918 while
perfecting 41 weapons for the US war effort.

It was his last hope of finding a cure for the polio that had left him crippled three years earlier. Eleanor came with him and he was carried from the train to an awaiting automobile. The man who carried him had no idea that, within 10 years, FDR would be the most powerful man in the nation, carrying the weight of a damaged nation on his shoulders. That first night, Roosevelt was kept awake by squirrels running across the roof of his cottage. The next day, Roosevelt took his first swim in the Warm Springs pool.

Harry S. Truman served as the 33rd president of the United States from 1945 to 1953. His presidency was marked by some of the most challenging times in American history, including the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. Roosevelt kept the house after he became President, using it as a presidential retreat.

Members receive notifications first for programs and invitations to events. The eleven trips of President Harry S. Truman were recorded in official trip logs.

Truman introduced another Executive Order which established the Committee on Government Contract Compliance.

The plan provided economic aid to 16 European countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Germany. The first meeting of the Marshall Plan’s European Advisory Commission held in 1947 was in Truman Little White House. One of the most significant events of Truman’s presidency was the end of World War II. Truman made the call to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ultimately leading to Japan’s surrender and the end of the war. While controversial, Truman argued that this decision saved American lives and was ultimately necessary to end the war quickly. The newly created Alliance was composed of 12 different nations, including the US.

He had even announced his intentions before patients and locals in front of the Meriwether Inn. The 1980s saw Key West re-developed as a tourist destination and former
Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton relaxed at the Little White House. Old Town Trolley was established to provide sightseeing tours along with their sister company the Conch Tour Train. Cruise ships began to make regular visits and today Key West is recognized as a global tourist destination. In 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell led international peace talks between the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia. The US Naval Station, due to the mild climate, has become a major training center for pilots.

This was the first and last time I will be flying Frontier. We were directed to go to a gate across from our gate. The plane wasn't there yet so we had to wait for it to arrive, then deplane everyone and then wait again for the plane to be cleaned. After 45 minuites we were allowed on the plane. The 2nd plane must have had bathroom issues because we did not have any food service whatsoever. That made for a long time not to have anything considering that we had just made it to the original gate and we had no time to stop to get food or a drink.
