The View from My Window


The Greenbaum is a pretty nice place, clean, bright, and pretty quiet. However, there’s not a heck of a lot to do in my hospital room. If I’m not resting in bed then I’m probably sitting in a chair near the window taking in the view. Although there are beautiful mountains on the horizon my view is dominated by the roof. Beyond the roof, right in the middle, is the sign welcoming you to Old Scottsdale. Nearby, to the left is the EZ Tattoo. To the right is the Scottsdale Pawn Shop. There are three building cranes but I don’t recall seeing any in use. Maybe they’ve been on Labor Day break all week.

My room is incredibly quiet. The only exception has been the frequent growl of souped up cars or the like. I couldn’t figure out why these were so frequent until it was pointed out to me that there is a biker bar across the street, just to the left of the Old Scottsdale sign.

If you are coming for a stay at the Greenbaum consider asking for room 1 or 2. These are on the other side of the floor and have a slightly more picturesque view. At the very least, avoiding rooms 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 should limit the noise from the bar.
