PR in Decline	What will the cruise passenger tourist think?
	Dairy Queen disheveled

Old Dairy Queen Building as ‘eyesore’---- At one time this site was seen as great business opportunity. A ‘speculator’ bought it?

City used to have to worry about ‘urban sprawl’ etc during boom years.

Now the question is how to ‘regulate’ contraction. This area is no longer prime retail space as the city shrinks.

Boarde up windows, siding gone etc

How to respond? And still be ‘business friendly’?

First thing a bus passenger would see when getting off inbound Greyhound

Inlander Hotel has seen better days

Cheap rent

Both Properties mentioned at Council meeting as problems

Inlander ‘famous’ as affordable place to stay. But with so much available locally it is being squeezed --- little revenue and no incentive to ‘renovate’. I am told it may be a fire hazard too if it ever got burning.
