Horn Lake Drury Inn and Suites Remodel (Explored)
We’re back on the west side of Goodman Road this Saturday for one final photoset out of Horn Lake (that’s one extra hint in addition to the ones I laid in this description, in case anyone wants to squeeze in a last-minute guess as to the subject!), so it’s time to check in on a project I previously mentioned was taking place this fall: the remodel of the town’s Drury Inn and Suites.
This hotel has a prime spot right at the southwest corner of the Goodman Road/I-55 interchange, and shares its lot with an establishment I’ve done a better job of profiling (though still not nearly as good a job as many other places, unfortunately…), the Bob Evans-turned-Hardee's. And after sitting for years complacent with its design, it began undergoing a thorough exterior remodel in the second half of 2017, donning a stucco-heavy, boxier roofline as well as a new, non-italicized logo for the chain.
In my collage of pictures here, you can see on the left two photos of the construction from October 28th; in the center, a better work-in-progress shot from November 5th; and on the bottom right, a very-zoomed-in capture of the final product from Veterans Day this past Saturday, joined for comparison by an earlier pic I discovered while searching through files off of my old phone, taken on January 17th, 2014. (For a better pre-remodel view, see l_dawg’s shot here.) I hope to get a better picture of the final product soon, but this is the best I could do for now!
As I recall, the work started a few months ago, but as far as the exterior is concerned they really seemed to push quickly to get it done these past few weeks; I was surprised to see it finished so soon. (To put that in other terms: the center pic was taken the same week as the finished product pic!!) I imagine the interior of the hotel got a nice remodel as well, although I can’t confirm as I’ve never been inside, haha!
Anyway, just thought I’d share this news and these remodel photos with you guys while they’re still timely. I kept thinking as the remodel continued that I should have been getting more pictures, but it’s fairly hard to do so when driving past, and I didn’t want to take on yet another photo series, haha! Speaking of which – in addition to the regular set, some more Sam’s Club remodel pics are coming this weekend, so stay tuned!
And finally... Thanksgiving Break (for me, anyway) begins in less than 39 hours (not that anyone's counting or anything XD ), so here are some celebratory, time-passing music recommendations: enjoy!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
