Toilet

My careful reader(s) may remember that I posted a photo of this place, the Glancy Motel, back in November. In that post I mentioned that a $7.75 million renovation of the place was scheduled. I spent a little more time looking around on a more recent return visit and I am quite positive that the $7.75 figure falls into the category of “a very low estimate.”

But, if you are looking for a busted parking-lot-based toilet, I can give you directions to this one…

Glancy

Oh, man! What a find! An out of business hotel, complete with a sign with a lot of fonts, a nice variety of shapes, and the relics of some old neon.

And this was a fun find: the Clinton City Council voted unanimously in August 2019 to have the building demolished. Apparently that didn’t happen,: in 2021 the Clinton Economic Development Authority authorized $7.75 million to renovate the hotel and an adjoining restaurant.

From what I saw, it’ll take every bit of that money to renovate the place, which had, according to the second article, “fallen into a deep decline.”
