gradys -- going, going, gone

 

 

When the Majestic Hotel was bustling, Gradys Grill & Bar was the place to be.  Now the arrow points to a deteriorating building with false promises of renovations.  The built-in booths are still in place but the only patrons now are pigeons and mice. The Velda Rose, a newer hotel built in 1964, also stands vacant  It is a prime destination for the ghosts tour.   One enterprising photographer spent his time in Hot Springs shooting the signs -- wish I had thought to capture more of them myself.
