Do you know what was beside the Krispy Kreme early 60s? I thought a hotel was there but can’t find any pics. Thanks for your help

(As of 3 weeks ago) I know virginia lodge and brookside are still there, same name, shitty as ever inside and out.


Cedar lodge was renovated and is now called "moon lodge" the place does look better on the inside now, still don't trust it.


The rest I will be in the area again next week, and update you all, with pics if i remember to grab some.
