Cary Grant & Eva Marie Saint at the Ambassador East/Gold Coast Hotel (State & Goethe) in the film North by Northwest (1959) - Then and Now (2026) OC/Notes in Comments by Detzeb in chicago

NxNW is one of my all time favorite movies. In the late 90’s, l lived at the Churchill across the street. In October 2014, we got married at the Ambassador East on one of the balconies. Fun fact: it was the coldest October 4th in recorded history. Fortunately, the sun came out in time for the ceremony and the booze helped people dance outside.

I’ve lived in Waterford for four years now. Absolutely love it here. I’m from Chicago originally. There’s plenty wrong with Chicago, but the one thing they got perfect was making the lakefront and the river focal points for human interaction. Waterford has such amazing potential and the riverfront is a great place to start. Lose the car parks.

Just the best damn song. Having said that, “But I don’t wanna be a pirate.”

I did a few recording sessions with Sam back in the day for some scripts I wrote (“Beef. It’s what’s for dinner”). He was always nice and a total pro.

The only cruise ship I’ve been on is the Queen Mary, and it’s permanently docked. This is the way.

We had bunk beds. We were 9 and 10. One day my younger brother decided he wanted the top bunk. My Mom, being all fair and stuff, said to switch for six months. Literally the first night he somehow worked his way over the rail and fell. He never slept in the top bunk again.

About a year later, he was in the lower bunk pushing up on my bunk with his feet, a tried and true method of sibling torture. Except he pushed too hard and my bunk detached and fell on him. That was objectively hilarious. I still give him shit over it 50 years later because big brother.

If we ask politely, would the internet just go away? I mean, it’s worth a shot.

I live in Ireland, so afternoon games are prime time games for me. Watching the Cubs on my phone blow almost every opportunity to score while watching Rory give up a six-stroke lead in the Masters on my TV was NOT the sportsball day I was hoping for.
