On the outskirts of Richmond on the Midlothian Turnpike there was a hotel with single rooms for $8/night. This was back in 1973. It was a much better alternative than sneaking me up to the 16th floor of the all girl's dorm downtown in the fan district. While giving up the high rise dorm meant not hearing Linda Frees moan as she curled her toes, going to the hotel did mean shopping for humongous cucumbers to satisfy Donna McIntosh's sexual cravings in the room next door to ours.
There was unlimited hot water and we used to turn the shower on and the heat lamp and turn the bathroom into a stream room. I lived on the 11th floor of Rhoades- wow how did I remember the name of the dorm???
