Does anyone know the status of the old Holiday Inn on Capital Blvd? It has been unoccupied for a very long time and is a major eyesore. I know it was run under another name for a while.
I thought I'd read somewhere years ago that someone was planning on renovating it and reopening as a hotel but that was years ago.
Seems kind of ridiculous for such a large eyesore to sit there forever just looking worse and worse with each passing year..
It's amazing that (what I would consider) a prime piece of real estate would remain vacant for 10+ years! Wasn't there a time where the convention center was open even though the hotel was in major disrepair, or am I imagining that?
More of a curiosity question....looking at google maps, it looks like a motel off to the left - were these all part of the same complex or was that a stand alone motel? Google image search is only bringing up the current Holiday Inn.
Hopefully it will be torn down and replaced with a tinderbox for overpaid hipsters!
Seriously? Dang, y'all. Enough with the attacks on the guy's opinions. No wonder he's tired of transplants. NC Natives don't constantly bash others.
