I wonder whether anyone has ever before noticed that the listing for the Abbott Hotel is cut and pasted.
EXbrook was indeed a San Francisco exchange name. I have nothing on the Abbott Hotel, if it ever existed.

An EXchange name sighting

As it happens, soon I'm going to be house/cat- sitting on Abbott Ave.--I'm going to send this photo to the house owner.
I love spotting behind-the-scenes handwork. One of the pleasures of in-camera effects instead of the glossy CGI.
(Probably one day our current CGI capabilities will look laughably rough--I was watching a Harry Potter from the early 2000s, and the special effects looked a bit crude-- but you still won't be able to discern a *hand* at work in them.)
That would be "cut and pasted" in the dowdy sense.
@Fresca: enjoy your stay!
@George: Yes, pressing the mucilage key.
