I couldn't find much information about this place online. As far as I know it's used as housing for transients. The hotel is downtown near the historic Rio Grande Train Station, which houses the Rio Grande Cafe, which houses more ghosts than any other Cafe in Utah. I've never eaten there.
I took these pictures last August when the street was closed off for the Italian Festival, which I didn't even know we had until I stumbled across it.
Next up we have the Scenic Motel, located on Foothill Drive, the easternmost thoroughfare in the city. During my seven years of higher education I would normally take 13th East to get back home, but on special occasions I'd take Foothill so I could drive by the motel.
For some reason it always reminds me of Fall/Winter. I guess because that's when I was in school.
If the above picture is too red for you...
Actually I'm not satisfied with either of those pictures. One of these days I'll go back and try again.
We have company lunch there once a year. Pretty damn good smothered burrito.
