Good.  The HoJo has gone down in quality the past few years and the Days Inn never was any good.

That whole area over there by Starlite (the Steamboat Inn, defunct White House exhibit, HoJo) could be bulldozed and no one would miss it.

Well bulldoze the whole area, even the starlite for that matter. Just stop short of Montana Mikes.   Either that or relocate Mike to the Starlite, and run Larry out.  ;D. Ok I havent tried ol Larry yet. Maybe he can stay.  But Mike is a MUST when in Branson.

The Showboat Motel is being bulldozed -- might even be done by now -- according to a couple of reports on 1branson.

It was a pretty cool motel when built...and it was there for a long, long time...but the showboat was looking a bit raggedy last few times I drove by. It is a place of old memories, me and a fellow Junior or two met some tourist girls, and....uh, well...ya know, steamboats were fun to ride a long time ago. :-X  ;)  As I wrote on another thread, glad we survived. Me and my rowdy friends have done rowdied on down... ;) :D ;D

Good news on the riverboat motel coming down.  It has needed to come down for awhile.

First place I stayed in Branson was the Melody Lane Inn. It is very sad to drive by it now
