At the time, I was in my teens and just beginning to explore Brisbane's nightlife. The hotel seemed larger than life—a place of possibility, independence, and adventure. I remember imagining the day I would finally walk through its doors, play a game of pool, and feel like a sophisticated adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border: 0px; outline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; white-space: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border: 0px; outline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; white-space: normal;\"\u003eThis work is both a tribute to an iconic Brisbane landmark and a reflection on the role that familiar places play in shaping our personal histories.
