1. Finding this photo of my Grandparent’s Hotel was very amazing!

   My Grandparents owned and operated this as the Longton Hotel from either the late 1950’s or early 60’s to sometime in the mid 1970’s. They usually had a couple of elderly people that lived in rooms on the first floor just off from the Lobby. There were about 12 rooms upstairs with about 4 or 5 “community” bathrooms (best as I can remember).

   My grandparents lived on the ground floor at the opposite end of the Lobby. Grand Dad Munyon had a detached garage and workshop out beside where they lived.

   This was the neatest place for me and my younger brothers to go and visit on our family vactions. Grand Dad Munyon would take us boys downtown to check the mail with him and go to the drugstore and get a soda or some candy. You just can’t have any better memories of the times we spent here during the summer and during Chistmas vactions.

   I imagine the place is fairly run down now and no telling what size the “vermin” are that now “rent” the rooms there.

   One of these days I’m going to drive up there from where I presently live in Florida and check out this grand Old Town.
