World War II affected every aspect of people's lives from what they ate to how far they could travel. Because of gas rationing, few people took vacations during the war years. The Don Cesar Hotel in St. Petersburg was a military hospital during part of the war. The above advertisement from 1944 says that those hotels are once again for civilian use. I'm not sure that the sacrifices made to win that war would be so easily made in 2009.
