I have seen alot worse..especially in Newark NJ. Makes the Mayfair look upscale..honestly.

Thanks and yes she moved there 2 years ago though! Yeah... she was always the greatest.. Did you know her from BWW?

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!!

When she drove away in her jeep to head off to Vegas.. I just watched until I couldnt see it anymore.. my husband and I had a good cry.. and then went back to work in the garden and tried to pretend she was away at camp or something... LOL

I also remember her when she managed WH in BS's before BWW.

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.

YO GIIIIRRRRLLL!!! How the Heck are you! I have missed you so much that I stopped even going to BBW after you left. By the way; Heather Smith got fired..Lmao...
I hope you are doing well and whenever you get tired of the big city lights there in Vegas; come home!
But until then; how much does it cost for a decent weekend in Vegas these days? Lmao...

LIfe is good. A lot of stress though.... HAHA! It was only a matter of time before she got fired... Plane Ticket to Vegas: $350, Tickets to a show: $120, Chance to see Tina Marie: Priceless

So much for old home week between John, Tina and Tina's mom!

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.
