    That was very kind of the owner to allow you to explore the place. I will admit it breaks my heart to see places that were once thriving to decay like that.

    you could possibly ask the owner if you could help clear it out. Some owners will even let you take something if you ask and they won't need. but it is polite and customary to ask before you take photos, and visit and take anything from the property.

    I remember this place and other places on that road from when I used to work summers at the Park. This was in 1976-78. I used to run a different ride each day to fill in for the regular operator. A lot of good memories there, hate to see that area in the shape it is now.

    So sad to see. I grew up going to Conneaut Lake Park, and what has happened to it just sucks. I never stayed in that motel, as my family preferred the actual Hotel Conneaut, but I know where it is.
    That motel was open the last time I was at the park, which was somewhere in the 2016-2018 time period. It’s a shame how much it’s gone downhill since then, although I guess it makes sense between the final closure of the park and the pandemic.

    A friend's daughter owns a motel on rt30 thats left over from before the big interstate travel. She had a massive pool when she took ownership but due to insurance costs it was filled in. The giant picnic shelters are still out there though. She does decent business but she also has an hourly room rental available - if you know, you know. You gotta do what you can to stay in business these days.

    You said they were scrapping it out. Maybe that's where a lot of the decay/damage came from. Both from them tearing out the scrap, and from that tearing out accelerating the natural decay. Shame. Looked like it was a cute little place, once upon a time. And, like you, I would've LOVED the pool, and that little pond!

    I like your intro! It's probably been on there for a while but it's been a few weeks since I watched the video of yours. It's a shame to see any motel, store restaurant closed down. I live in Wapakoneta Ohio Just a few weeks ago a couple tornadoes went through here and it took out a hotel part of a TA truck stop, a campground a big $22.5 million dollar greenhouse, It took a old schoolhouse in the country about every 2 miles you see once in a while picked it up and just made a big pile of rubble. A few barns I picked the house up and carried it almost a quarter of a mile. Look it up there's a bunch of pictures on it. Sorry got a little side tracked😅 And what the weather don't destroy, vandals, thieves will come in just like that motel you just visited. Thank the difference between a hotel and a motel the hotel can't be more than 3 stories tall? Good content I've been following you guys for a few years now. Was that Kayla in the background and didn't sound like her I was just wondering? You're safe out there Willie.

  • @billyjoe580
