FireProf said:Only thing I think most of his loyal guests would have appreciated was a bit more of a warning that the serious possibility of a sale was on the horizon and not just idle talk, leaving most frequent visitors to TCI thinking that they had a bit more time enjoying this great place. Many years ago I worked as a business opportunity broker (just long enough to find out I wasn't very good at it), and I can tell you that all business sales are done under the cloak of secrecy. In this case, TCI was sold six days before the announcement was even made. While I'm disappointed, I used to wonder just how profitable a 17-unit motel really was. They worked long hours there, and I suspect that when you took the long hours into consideration, they were probably making minimum wage.
