This is the Coates House. It was once a luxury hotel built by Kersey Coates across from his Opera house. He used to bring the biggest stars in from the east coast in the last half of the 1800's. There was a tunnel built from his hotel, where his famous guests would stay, to his opera house where they were to perform. That way they could get across the street without dealing with the paparazi of the time. The Hotel, as well as Quality Hill to the west of here, also built by Kersey Coates, declined. By the 1970's, when we moved here, if you went through this area, you definitely were rolling up your windows and locking your doors. Part of the Coates House burned down on January 21, 1978 killing 21 people, most of whoom were homeless or semi-homeless people who were flopping here against the freezing temperatures. That January, we had some of the coldest winter weather on record, with 12 to 15 inches of snow on the ground.

Suyen and I got up late. She drove the Superbooboo to woik and I took it from there. Tima and I went to Goodyear in Blue Springs to have the oil changed. I had them look at the grinding noise the car makes when it turns, but they couldn't find it. I got gas at QT and got pot pies at Bahstahn Mahket for Suyen and I. We et at the MTN breakroom. I went to Yeejis after. Perigrine asked for a ride to 17th and Summit. I then went back to Yeejis and set up the puter and HDV to do some woik.
