The Grandview Saga is finally coming to an end.
Chase Ingersoll’s pipe dream of turning the Grandview into an upscale 4-star hotel may actually become a reality. After months and months (that seemed more like years and years) of empty promises, bickering and whining, what should’ve happened a long time ago is finally going to happen. The damn thing is being town down.
The current owner Alexis Khazzam stated the obvious when he said this: “We considered a lot of ideas and it finally came down to our belief there was no salvage value whatsoever.�
Stupid Journal Star quote of the day: “With the Grandview closed and the nearby Deluxe Hotel now being torn down to make room for more parking at American Pi, the nearest hotel is north of Pioneer Parkway.� – yea, as if anyone from out of town would actually consider staying at either.
With the new owners trying to court a real hotel for the site, all of Chase’s hot air may actually come true. All he had to do was get out of the way. Go figure.
