I was sitting in Moe's<\/i> this afternoon, reading The Free Times<\/a> when I saw that they are tearing down the old Comfort Inn<\/i> at Main & Elmwood to build a new homeless shelter (despite having no money to do so..).<\/p>\n

I dislike taking pictures in the rain both because I hate cleaning the lens and because the results always look dreary. I also hate going downtown during rush hour, but I thought I probably wouldn't have another chance to get some shots while part of the structure was still standing, so I did a drive-by and got a few pix from the car.<\/p>\n

The ad is from the 1998 Bellsouth Yellow Pages, and while the building was a Comfort Inn<\/i> at the time, I think it moved down the hotel food-chain a few times in the 2000s before The Salvation Army<\/i> ended up taking it over.<\/p>\n
