Bentley Hotel birthday all but ignored. August 10, 2012.

Well with all the phony eagerness for the Bentleys chance for rebirth… It’s birthday today was remembered by only one news outlet KLAX TV.

Alex supports the reopening of the hotel…and I know I am repeating myself…

but I think that today’s  birthday would  have been a great chance  to remind people again of its potential…

Ah..who am I kidding….most of us could care less…..

I give up on it…. It’s over and all the folk’s have gone home…..

The Hotel Bentley march echoing in their memory.

The Bentley Hotel. Alexandria, Louisiana. Update…

We found out today, just as a lot of other local folks that there is a strong chance the Bentley will be purchased by perhaps a group of local citizen’s.The owner of the Diamond Grill appears to be the principal. Mike Jenkins. I hope that this happens. He realizes the importance of this building.. I believe he will strive to bring the Bentley back to life.To all of those involved.  Thank you for seeing into the future. It is the right thing to do. I sincerely hope it happens.
