Was at the pines this weekend they are now in the process of demoing it.. they already took down what looks like 3-4 of the buildings.. And one of the buildings in front the roof fell through the middle all the way to the first floor.. its a shame whats become of it and what vandals have done to it..

Do you know when they
plan to tear it down? We were just there a week ago. It's falling apart and delapitated but I will be so sad to see this place go.
That would be to difficult to not take. I LOVE retro appliances.

I spent my honeymoon here April 26th 1980 that weekend was for retired people they asked my husband and i if we really wanted to stay there with the retired people I was 19 and my husband was 21 but we stayed one of the older couples gave us some advice to never stop communicating well unfortunately we didnt listen and after 31 years of marriage we are getting a divorce. It is sad to the see the motel in such disarray I wish they could turn it into a casino or something I wanted to go back for our 30 anniversary but found out it it wasnt open anymore

Did you try to set off a fire sprinkler ? SInce the building is abandoned and self-destructs itself, you can do it. Also, did you find the sprinkler valves room ?
I sooo want ALL of those chairs!
I can just imagine the sounds one would hear in here at night--I would love investigating a huge, creepy kitchen like this!
Sorry but I'd rather see them be saved than end up smashed to bits in some junk pile somewhere. How could the owners NOT know the valuable light fixtures were there? If I knew that and it was my property I would go in and remove them and then let the wrecking ball have at it (provided I couldnt afford to save the place, of course).

As much as possible. I've got to make a trip back soon, it's been way too long.

Clearly, ceiling tile from above that could no longer handle the water. nice close up, though, as, like everyone else, I agree that this looks like someone dialed a #2...

So as of 2011, is this place still standing?
