Stepping inside the Blackhawk Hotel

Cedar Falls has recently done significant work to revitalizate their downtown. The restoration of the Blackhawk Hotel has been recognized by the community and put the hotel on the list of 100 Places. Linda and I stepped inside the lobby and got a sense of what it may have been like to have stood on that spot fifty years prior. The woodwork was gave a warm feel to the space. Leaded glass in the doors added a simple elegance. From the lobby, you can pass to the neighboring barbershop or martini bar without stepping outdoors. It looks like a comfortable, cozy place right at the hub of the Cedar Falls scene.
