Westerner Motel fire
Last night, the westerner motel on N. Interstate had a significant fire. According to the news, numerous families have been displaced. No one was hurt i guess which is good.
Why is this news? this is one of those motels that cater to the weekly crowd. There are probably 10-15 of them left along n. Interstate even 2 years after MAX came in. Tri-Met bought one up by killingsworth..not sure what is to become if it. The venerable Palms accross from Kaiser with the wonderful neon had a big fire a few months ago too and still haven’t reopened 1/2 of the place.
(conspiracy anyone? Motel fires?)
I wonder what will happen with the westerner. Will the owners rebuild? Scrap it for condos? Hmmmm. There must be some good money in low rent motels given property values around here.
data through the air……like the days of our lives….
Meth cooking session gone bad?
