ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - The golden lion that stood watch in at the Alaska hotel named after it has finally been retired after the building changed hands.
The nearly 50-year-old stuffed lion was moved from its home at the Best Western Golden Lion Hotel in Midtown Anchorage last week, the Anchorage Daily News reported Sunday.
“It was quite the conversation piece at the hotel,” said Kelly Kneaper, daughter of original hotel owner Jerry Groseclose. “Over the years, I can’t think of how many thousands and thousands of people have taken a photo with the lion.”
