I went by the Deluxe Inn and took pictures of the graffiti today. There were quite a few people there checking it out, as there have been the last few times I drove by.
A structure like this would have a lot of the same complaints that we dealt with when getting the skatepark built. Putting it over by Calkins Paint could make that part of the River Trail cooler and provide more business for Calkins :-)
There is an article in this weeks City Pulse about the future Deluxe Inn redevelopment. They also showed off an example of what the redevelopment may look like:
I hope they do redevelop the property. I remember the first hotel they built on the property-multi colored and 50's "modern". I guess that dates me, but I was a child at the time.
