Mayor coach sure does like to talk tough to out of town motel owners.

Waste of money… have BRPD add the parking lot to their route until the property could be sold to a private investor… let them be responsible for demolishing it not our tax money

Solves nothing. It’s actually a solid location and had a great layout. Degenerates didn’t come to Baton Rouge for the Oyo. Degenerates that went to Oyo will just go to a different hotel. The people are the issue.
It’s better than doing nothing
Just take out these nasty places one at a time and rebuild nicer

It was originally called the Admiral Benbow Inn. Worked as busboy & did the food room service there in mid-1970s. It was a thriving hotel way back in the day. Jeff Welch played the organ/piano in the hotel lounge nightly. Met the Doobie Brothers’ band members while staying there for their BR show. A lot of fond memories and a damn shame it has deteriorated to this.

Why not just let it burn?

I lived in the apartments behind there 20+ years ago. It was a shithole then as a still functioning hotel.

And next to it was an IBM building. Sherwood Forest Blvd pretty much ended when it hit I-12.

#2 had $4 a gallon in the 80's, full service of course. My dad and the owner were good friends, they agree to let me start an expense account. I was a runner for a law office and that account got closed after my dad got his first bill. .25 cents a mile and $5.00 an hour 
I was killing it at 16.

I had some good times at that Nightclub over the years. A pickup bar in a hotel was such a good business model.

I spent way too much time at the Monroe Oyo. Hell on earth
