The nationwide ground stop on airline flights has been lifted, which is good, because if it had gone on an hour or two longer the airline club lounges would have turned into Plato’s Retreat

@jalefkowit I have a distant memory of there being a rather large rooftop sign on the building that housed Plato’s. This would have been sometime in the early 1980s.
“Mainly it was hordes of heterosexual couples and single women — the only clientele permitted inside — who flocked to Plato’s after 10 p.m., feverish to shed their sexual inhibitions, and clothes. Couples forked over $25, plus a $5 temporary membership fee, to gain access for two.
“Once inside, they were welcome to enjoy the lounge, which featured an Olympic-sized pool, a 60-person jacuzzi and the legendary ‘mat room’ — where a sea of mattresses accommodated orgies.”
