This motel is one that is particularly frustrating for me as it is one of the properties Tony Hsieh bought for his misguided, easily manipulated "Downtown Project" that resulted in like two good things and a whole lot of bad.

He bought this motel with who knows what plans for it, probably just because he could, closed it, and it sat empty. And sat, and sat, and sat, and nothing happened except layers of graffiti and homeless people using it as a wind block. And then they put up chain link fencing to try and stop that but it didn't. And then he died without a will. So it sat empty, and sat, and sat, and sat. No one at Downtown Project ever had an idea of what to do with it, or bothered to ask the community they claimed to be a part of. In point of fact, years before he died they shut down the office in downtown to stop people from giving them feedback or participating. Businesses in Portland, OR and Seattle, WA got "Vegas downtown" money but no one in Vegas did. Because at the end of the day the supposed Downtown Project was just a premier tier of the Cult of Zappos that Tony built. He had billions, decided it would be fun to live in Las Vegas, and then pretended to be a member of a community he never talked to and didn't understand.

I used to sit across from it and sip drinks and talk with my friends about all the things it could be used for. Artists conclave, return to its motel days, micro-festival site. And none of that ever happened. It just sat, boarded up, blacked out, empty.

Then in June of 2023 its roof caught fire and collapsed. That is not a one off tale for the Downtown Project bought buildings. The buildings he bought, many never touched by his supposed project, are still empty and unsellable due to probate issues. They are a blight, as they were after he bought them.

Ten years. Ten years where it housed no one, hosted no one, sold no products, helped nobody. Ten years where it did nothing but degrade.

The actual downtown revival isn't on Fremont St where Tony staked his flag. It's south of Charleston, between Commerce and 3rd and it was done by individuals with an idea and a will and who got the community they were actually a part of to help them build.

Lucky Motel, 1111 Fremont St (1951-2012). Postcard, 50s-60s.

The U-shaped, 28-unit Lucky Motel was built on Block 1 of Ladd Addition, the second motel by brothers J.T. and Al Franklin, and completed October 1951. The pool was added in ‘57. Franklin bros also helped to build the shopping center across the street (1100-1126 Fremont) which was completed in the mid 50s.

Franklins sold the motel to Roy Williams in ’61; Williams sold to Allen & Dolly Zender in ’74; the motel changed hands several times, and was last sold in 2013 to Downtown Project who closed the motel.

The motel’s neon sign is seen in the earliest dated photos of the motel. In the 00s, Steve Wyrick bought the motel sign for a private collection and placed it in storage. It was bought by the City of Las Vegas and returned to the closed motel in 2020.

You know what's truly devastating?

Jiang Cheng raised Jin Ling. Jiang Cheng doted on him and helped him and punished him and taught him and loved him–

Jiang Cheng loved him. He loved him so much that the boy may as well have been his own son. He loved him with a ferocity that burned brighter than Zidian's spark. He hovered over him constantly, he showed up on the boy's nighthunts.

He knows, now, what a parent's love feels like, because he feels it for Jin Ling with every breath he takes.

Jiang Cheng now also knows, really knows, that his father never loved him at all.

It's a bit of a surprise, even considering everything, but it's the truth. You couldn't be that indifferent to your child if you loved them. Jiang Cheng would never even consider treating Jin Ling the same way.

I wonder when, during the years he spent raising Jin Ling, did Jiang Cheng have that "oh" moment of realization.

Gods but the way people think Arthur was stupid, trusting Agrvaine so much, first, Agravaine was a manipulative bastard, who came just after Uther died, a time when Arthur sorely needed parental support, seeing as his Father died and in a way, his whole family was gone. Mother, already dead, father, his king, dead, his sister betrayed him, forgive him for thinking, someone who was his last link to his mother, who was manipulating him on daily basis into thinking that he's the only one who had good intentions and cared for him. At a time, when he was most vulnerable. Forgive him for thinking that person won't betray him. Forgive him for thinking he had little of his family left. Forgivr him for thinking, even after all that has happened he was still loved by someone of his family.

Gods but I hate agravaine more than Uther, more than Morgana, more than any other villain. The way he manipulated Arthur, Gods, that's legit breaking the whole man, I wonder how Arthur managed to trust people after such deepest betrayal. Nobody talks about it,

But to think even after all of this, he still accepted Merlin and loved him so much!

reminder that Charlie Puth is a disgusting man and is a major misogynist. If you're going to say 'you can't force people to support palestine' when theres quite literally a genocide then okay thats a you problem, but there has been multiple women who have spoken out about his gross and inappropriate actions towards them. (also included some examples of him being a zionist)

HI IM IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD !!!! my shitty sexist supervisor (who’s always sexually harassing me and being a dick to patients) got fired today thanks to me :3 muahaha.

2 weeks ago he did some police brutality bs to a lady who was tryna get admitted. he threw her face down on the ground several times kneeling on her back. which *** all hospitals will tell you to NEVER put patients face down because they can go into cardiac arrest from it. *** also she was throwing up and drunk so she could have aspirated during this too.

anyway, nothing was getting done about it and yesterday i went to my CEO and the assistant director, told them this longgggg ass thing about him and how i refuse to work with someone who is going to cause a patient death and blahblahblah. and today there was a full investigation into camera footage and interviews with people who were there and he is ✨✨ fired hunnyy✨✨

i refuse to stand by while people take advantage of and brutalize anyone. and i wasnt there when it happened but i sure as fuck will not be complicit in it so —
