The change wasn't just for a catchier sound—legend has it that the new name had the owner’s pet parakeet chirping approval from his gilded perch!\n\nPicture this: as you step inside, you're enveloped by the warm aroma of fresh ground coffee mingling with hints of savory gourmet flavors. It's like walking into a cozy haven where retro meets modern, and now you're in on the secret vibe that's uniquely Elroy.\n\nOh, while we're on secrets, here's a little-known nugget: the blue wall in the corner isn’t just for show. It marks the very spot where a group of local artists once gathered for clandestine midnight painting sessions. Keep an eye out for a tiny brushstroke signature that they left behind!\n\nNow, I have a challenge for you: take a moment to identify three distinct smells you notice. Trust me, it'll sharpen your senses and become part of your Elroy experience!\n\nIf you've enjoyed this slice of Elroy’s eclectic charm, I promise there's plenty more to discover on your own. Remember, much like a great cup of coffee, there's always a unique story brewing here. So, have fun exploring, and may your discoveries be as delightful as that first sip!\n\n","type":"text"},{"content":{"place_id":"ChIJd7rOxaUZE2sRkm_pyIg-V_A"},"type":"place"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2F8uiVjNZ5UM1o6XR7edDw%2Ftts_0.mp3?alt=media&token=0af3b596-a634-4d25-a036-8bbf75eca561"},{"address":"The Illawarra Hotel","location":{"longitude":150.89317895000002,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-34.42329451088295,"longitudeDelta":0.14751978096591076},"placeId":"ChIJBYFJXqYZE2sRKXaeWhinq48","media":[{"content":{"place_id":"ChIJBYFJXqYZE2sRKXaeWhinq48"},"type":"place"},{"content":"Did you know that The Illawarra Hotel is rumored to have hosted a celebrity-studded poker night back in the day? Picture this: smoky rooms filled with the laughter of Hollywood’s elite, as local legends would have it. Even if the story leans more on the side of folklore than fact, it's a captivating part of the hotel's charm.\n\nNow, look around you and try to imagine the grand opening back in 1929 — the buzz of excitement, flapper dresses, and smooth jazz spilling from its doors. If these walls could talk, they'd surely have stories to fill countless evenings. Have you ever wondered what stories an old hotel like this might hide? Feel free to take a guess, and share your thoughts!\n\nInterestingly, one architectural detail often overlooked is the intricate plasterwork adorning the ceilings. It’s a prime example of Art Deco design, blending sophistication and flair — keep an eye out as you explore. Each swirl and curve tells its own story, much like brushstrokes on a canvas.\n\nFor those of you thinking, \"does this guide moonlight as a historian?” well, let's just say I have a soft spot for old tales and a knack for bringing the past to life. Feel free to ask questions or share a joke or two — I promise, unlike these walls, I do talk back!\n\nThanks for joining me on this journey through time. Remember, wherever your travels take you next, always leave a good story behind.
