Gillum,
The owner of this bar (google it please misspelled on purpose) "trac-k-tur- b ahrr" stayed with us and invited me to visit his establishment if ever in WV. You have heard of this place I am sure. Quite the fun Facebook page too - only posts a funny and their events.
He knew of your town, as I mentioned your place to him.
 
Halloween party at a bar? (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) I think that's great, at those hours. Sure a different world from the one I have to live in!

You don't have to live where you don't want to be!

Gillum, here's a way to lure Arks to come visit you…. Who visits Gillum first; Arks or Generic?!?

Waiting for either Arks or Generic to arrive.
Now you have a goal, get Arks to come for Oct 31. The three of you can dress up, chase everyone off, and have the place to yourselves…. You know Arks doesn't like crowds…. I checked, he doesn't have guests! No excuse. By that time he will be tired of remodeling and need a break….
Edited; Arks, It's only eleven hours drive, probably shorter since Mapquest wouldn't acknowledge the town so I picked another area. The Tess can do that, no sweat! Have Gillum spoil you rotten….. What are you waiting for?!?

Are you a stalker full or part time?

I'm about to start on the 1860 building, the one that was a brothel during the Roaring Twenties. I'm expecting it will take 2 years to finish the project. Downstairs will be 2 retail spaces, though we'll make it so it could be opened into 1 big area if someone wants to rent the whole thing.
Upstairs will be 2 upscale apartments, for long term lease. I think I have enough by-the-night lodging for a while, plus this building is a couple of blocks from my guesthouse, so if I add more lodging, it will be closer to the other building.
Yes, it's great fun, and so far it's paying its own way!

You need a name that suite contest for that building. Social media, win a night stay.

Would it have been OK to LIKE as "my page"? You know how these things work and I am still learning and do not mind admitting to being a numbnutz.

ours are all named at the moment by what we are putting in them - they all sound a bit mental but its so we know what we mean!
ie Mackintosh room - charles Rennie Mackintosh is the inspiration with arts and crafts furniture and Mackintosh roses on the soft furnishings.
French Oak room - comes from the furniture - its a light oak and going to be decorated in forest green carpet, forest green velvet curtains and just off white light green walls - copper coloured wet board in the bathroom
Simon's industrial room - industrial furniture picked out by DH
Garden room - all natural theme with amazing solid oak 4 poster bed and all wood/reclaimed/driftwood type furniture - like staying in a wood.
Alice room - Original Alice in Wonderland theme - black, white and purple - lush purple drapes, royal purple carpet and tea cup light fittings.
Gothic room - all gothic style furniture
Some rooms don't have a style yet but there will be some pics on the web site once everything isn't just a pile of rubble!

We like a pub in another country. They like us. We share info about each other. Does it work? Not sure, but it's fun to send our guests who are headed to that city over to the pub to say hi!
