Hello all,

I need help remembering for something i am writing. There was a kind of sleazy hotel on either west 48th st, 49th st. or 50th, either between broadway and 8th or 8th and 9th ave.

It would have been a sort of rooming house, itinerant, maybe welfare, possibly hourly rate affair.
It had a red neon sign, i think.

I think it closed because of a fire in 80s or 90s.

You got anything for me? What hotels were there? It was not a big one. Same height as the older apartment buildings in the neighborhood.

Please send me an email at jeffsolo@mac.com or respond to me here if you have any idea what place I am talking about. It would have been there in 1985.

THANKS!
Jeff

There were probably many such in the rather large area you described.
Partner said "Hotel Diplomat."

Have you tried doing a Google image search? You'd be amazed at what might pop up.

Yes. My mom used to take me on the bus through port authority to buy her drugs.

No hotels and no baby daddy finding. Just sketchballs outside of port authority while I waited inside for her to get back to take the bus back home. BTW your posts on this site are kinda gross.
