no more good tymes
Petersburg, VA
For a few years, when exiting off I-95 to go into Petersburg, VA, the first sight you would see was this abandoned restaurant and motel, still standing but in bad shape. Finally, last year, in January 2020, we noticed that it had finally been completely torn down.
It's a shame it couldn't have been renovated and re-opened. It featured this very cool round restaurant and a large motel area as well. Back in the day, I bet it was a swell place. When we drove around it in 2017 (when this picture was taken), it was just so sad......boarded-up, with broken glass scattered all over the parking lot near the motel rooms. The gloomy day only added to the depressing scene.
