Yes from both locations of the BWW's!! She was my fav there and when she moved locations; so did I. A huge Dave Mathews Band fan and oh just the most pleasant person ever..thats why I so enjoyed speaking with her. Yes it has been two years..I cant believe where the time is gone! I went to her going away party her friends threw for her at that place over on 39th st (wont mention the name); but I had to leave before she actually got there. I never got to say goodbye! Please tell her hello for me!!

I will.. I probably saw you in there a couple of times or something and you just didnt know I was her mom

She did say that some of her customers moved with her.
That's really cool John.

I accidently left a diamond stud earing on my table at WH once and she later called me when I was in ST. Louis to let me know where I had left it and I could swing by and get it on my way home. What a girl! I knew then she was someone who had integrity, morals and level head on her shoulders. After that I made sure that wherever I saw her I tipped very very generously. It's probably the only thing she would remember about me thats for sure.

It's nice though when you reconnect with old friends! Maybe you could suggest that they put a "contact" option on the blogs so that you could send messages privately, whenever you "see" someone on here you actually know and want to communicate with.

The 40 Hiway installment to his blog is interesting. I'll have to look at the KCK one later on.

I don't know if my comments to his blog took at that location, but here is some of what I said;

A guy I used to work with was a part owner of the Sunset Inn Motel. His business partners turned out to be less than upstanding citizens, which he didn't find out until he had sunk several thousands of dollars and man hours in trying to turn the place around. Some of the end came when the managers his partners had hired got into renting rooms out by the hour, having renters in the effiecency units who had visitors who stayed for less than 10 minutes at a time, but who numbered as many as 30 per hour. Then there was the problems with the city; a refusal to give them a liquor license, and a problem with the Fire & Codes Enforcement Dept. in issuing occupancy/use permits for the ballroom, diningroom and kitchen. What finally ended it, after a number of raids for drugs/prostitution and murders, was audits by the IRS of the "partners" tax returns.

I remember going to the, then, Stadium Inn for photographic equipment shows/sales. (This was in the early 1980's.) At that time the place was run down and ratty, but nothing like it ended up being twenty years later.
