Chuck Firment just called me. He's driving up Van Dyke, on his way to the BMW dealer. He says the Van Dyke Park Suites has a sign out front that says "Everything Must Go!"
Once they empty it, I wonder if they will fix it up? Or tear it down and replace with a shopping mall? Or just let the building rot?
My bet is on the shopping mall. That's a big piece of prime real estate.
Good thing Tammy and Anne moved us out. If I'd had my way we'd have stayed. I still worry about the new hotel, but one way or another we will manage.

But yes, are very glad we jumped ship when we did, especially since appearing to have an alternative allowed us to get such a good deal out of the new hotel.
I wonder what they're selling? It's kind of tempting to go get a souvenir of our time there... But I can't really think of anything I'd want.
