I just came across these 100 black and white 1928 photos of the great Agua Caliente, Tijuana, Mexico, hotel-casino resort. Some of you might like to see them, so here are two links to them:

Here are two of the photos: an interior ceiling and the Pool Building lobby :
In many ways the Agua Caliente complex was like no other hotel-casino resort in the world. One authority wrote this to me:
"No other hotel-casino resort had everything AC did:
Natural hot water spa
On site railroad station.
Landing strip for airplanes
Separate galgodrome for dog racing
Hotel
Casino
championship world-leading horse-racing track, golf courses and tennis courts."
Here is a link to my website page on the place:
