1. The old German Baden Band Organ was first on exhibit at the 1900 World Exposition in Paris. Featuring 89 keys and 400 pipes, the organ offered various dancing tunes.

But you won't see it there, and no one I've contacted seems to know what happened to it or when/if it is coming back. 2. Noel Court Motel, 312 - 6th Ave. N. 3. Victory Motel 202 S Ocean Blvd. 4.
