COLATERAL DAMAGE FOR
BUFFALO GIRLS HOTEL
EST. 1995….
Very sad day for me here in Canton, Texas. But at seventy six years old, I have no fight left in me and it is what it is. I’ve been here a long, long time, and to have your 30 year business stripped from you in one day is devastating.
The Mountain has been so mismanaged for so long, and finally, went into foreclosure, bankruptcy, full 9 yd. We have been paying our lot rent to the bank, and all 10 of our buildings have been up to code with the city and the fire department. Each one has its fire extinguishers, certificate of occupancy. We have complied with every rule the city put upon us, but unfortunately, I cannot say that for everybody up there, but today, I’m just talking about Buffalo Girls Hotel. I just wanted everyone to know that we have followed all the rules and regulations and just a few months ago was told by the city to put a bathroom in a building that just had a couple of vendors in it. But ten thousand dollars later, they approved us to open and now this. They have cut the water off to the mountain without notice.
Here’s what has happened…. a guy came forward and bought it before the auction, thinking that if he continued the mountain that he would be grandfathered and by law, that’s what it says. But as soon as the property changed hands, the city came and cut the water off with no notice. And the city said that the property is not “Up To Code” and that it could not open with water. Until said tasks were done, which they are talking about all the infrastructures, plumbing, electrical, all pavillions, etc. As each one of us are responsible for our own structures, I have done that, but many have not.
He does not want to fight it and I don’t blame him , so we are closing the doors and he will sell the land to a developer and have anything that’s left, be bulldozed. I have 10 buildings that I will either sell to be removed or I will sell all the contents out of them, including heat and air units, TVS beds, sinks, toilets, showers, everything must go and what is left. I will have to leave behind. They Are telling us 30 days to be out, So this is devastating.
