From: "Keith F. Lynch" <kfl at KeithLynch.net> To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net> Subject: [WSFA] Darkover/Chessiecon hotel is a ghost hotel Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2020 00:23:06 -0400 (EDT) [I'm posting to this list since there seems to be some kind of posting glitch with the GoogleGroups list.] At tonight's (Zoom) PRSFS meeting, I learned that the Darkover/ Chessiecon hotel, last used for Chessiecon in November 2018, is abandoned. Nobody is there, but the doors are unlocked and the utilitites are still on. "Urban explorers" made two YouTube videos, ABANDONED Untouched Hotel & Restaurant With EVERYTHING Still Inside ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls47ADCNE0Y and EXPLORING ABANDONED HOTEL! (EVERYTHING LEFT INSIDE) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5RR7-scH_o Apparently it's abandoned because of customer complaints and an inability to sell the deteriorating property, and has nothing to do with the current pandemic.
