People go there to eat there, and it doesnt matter where it is...nothing special about that location. But the hotels sort of confuse me. There aren't many hotels in that vacinity (and maybe for good reason), but that also means theres no competition. So why are they doing poorly? And all on the same auction?!??!
The majority of businesses these days own the building but lease the land they occupy. This makes it easier to dispose of the building in the event they want to relocate. Besides from what I understood the hotels, Best Buy and Tires plus were going to have to relocate because they are in the safety zone of new interchange planned for I-240/I-35.

What I love to see is White Water and Frontier City to relocate to this site.

In realty we will probably most likely see a distribution center take over the area. Just simply because of the location and access to I-35 and I-240.
