|  | | | I just came back from South Lake Tahoe for a ski trip. There were 3 abandoned motels along the main strip minutes away from the Heavenly gondola. Did a little après-ski 'sploring.
The BLOCK, Cedar, and Holiday Lodges.
And when you finally disappear, We'll just say you were never here. |

| | | | I'll be up there in a few weeks I'll have to take a look. I believe "the block" was a small venture rob dyrdek invested in (it looked sick from the video footage) but partner doosh didn't pay the taxes on it...

Here is a news blurb on the sale of the hotel:
Not surprisingly, the snowboarder hotel, The Block at Big ----, Calif. is now up for sale. Atlas Hospitality Group is selling the hotel for just over $2 million. Actually, it's a court-ordered sale which likely means that The Block forfeited on its loans.
Aimed at snowboarders and other young folk and once a subject of a G4 reality TV show, the hotel brand (there was another location in ---) could never deliver on hospitality. The NY Times once reviewed it saying it was like "camping out at Urban Outfitters." And how could we forget the staff profiles
However, it seems like there's also something a little more sinister beneath the surface as Boardistan.com reports that The Block hotelier Liko Smith was arrested for a few few things including failure to pay transient occupancy taxes. Ugh.

| | | | It's kinda sad seeing all these abandonments in my home town. I still have a lot of friends up there, and I hope the town picks itself up.

| | | | I got inside of some rooms in THE BLOCK but they were pretty much empty, the others were sealed.
And when you finally disappear, We'll just say you were never here. |
