it just needed renovating, it was outdated, not "falling apart", hell it wasnt but even 30 years old. they should have gotten rid of that burned wing, it did look pretty cheap even when there were still rooms there. it was to big of an icon to just blow up like that.
now its going to look like shit for years to come cause they dont even know what the hell to do with it, but i have heard talk of a convention center and another much smaller hotel, which either way is years off.
The only reason the building was in such disrepair was the lack of respect it was given when the holding company bought it and let it set. Then the city decided to buy it and once again let it set.
I was there the last day it was open.. It still looked wonderfull on the inside. It's a shame those in their little cooshie seats didn't have more respect for what the Executive Inn meant to this community and restore it back to it's former self..
great shot! and i totally agree with the whole blowing it up thing...all the bigwigs care about right now is getting more tourists and demolishing the big e just cut the tourist population in like half

You do realize that the building was literally beginning to fall apart, right? The place was a piece of crap.

The building has looked like crap for years now. Just because you loved the place doesn't mean it wasn't a piece.
