The Saint George is back.
No mean feat, trust us on this one. After years upon years of being treated unfairly and done dirty by everyone from Solidere to Zaytounah Bay, the Saint George seems to be back. Even in his death Rafic Hariri managed to inflict incredible harm on the Saint George due to proximity of the explosion.
But to quote Chris Rea's album title there's "new lights through old windows". To be clear, no, I was never part of the Saint George hayday, or even a client there (can't even swim for heaven's sake!) but the emotional element is still there. A proud, majestic landmark which got caught up in the hotel wars, then subsequently victim to greed and evil folly.
Still, the image above as linked to the one and only Lance Aramouny is a testimonial that you can't keep a good man (or landmark) down. What is right will come back. And come back it did. Again, I have no idea why I am being so emotional about this, but knowing that the Saint George came back from the brink is something to make everyone proud.
Vivement the Holiday Inn!
