Along 66, May 2020: The Sad State of Affairs at Tulsa's Brookshire Motel

I take these from the Route 66 News blog, your place for any and all things you want to know about what is going on along our  Mother Road.  The site has at least one post every day plus a lot more information along with photos and video.  I just take the ones of most interest to me to put in my RoadDog's RoadLog blog.

MAY 5--  A man was found dead in Tulsa's Brookshire Motel after a third fire in the past fifteen months.   The other two fires took place in February 2019 and March of this year.

The motel has been declared a public nuisance over two years ago.  As of this date, the City of Tulsa has given the owner notice to make repairs or it will b e torn down.

Not much is known about the motel but it is believed it was built in the 1940s.  The site has been long-closed.

I always hate to see when an old motel gets into these straits, but that happens with progress.  Sometimes you just have to tear it down.
