Owensboro Hotel Ends Up on Ebay. Any Takers?
October 4, 2012 Wendesday night, my friend Bj Emmick posted this on Facebook, "Go to Ebay and type in Owensboro Hotels and Motels." I replied, "Not sure where this is heading, but I can't wait." And, well, I should have known. Yep! The Tower Inn, formerly the impressive landmark Gabe's Tower, is an item up for bid on the world's largest auction site. And the asking price . . . $150,000!!! I'm sorry. I just coughed and choked . . . and NOT because I have a hernia. $150,000??? A "Buy It Now" price of a quarter of a million dollars?? I hate to rain on the parade and sound like Pessimistic Polly, but WHO is going to pay THAT for THIS?
