Classic Motel aka Townview Motel - TIME TO GO

As you may have heard, Dwaine Caraway (link) and I began the process to close the Classic Motel (map) by filing the papers against the motel with the City of Dallas. It is the motel directly across from Townview High School and a half-block from NW Harllee Elementary School. We are using the same process that was applied to the American Inn on Scyene near Fair Park.

Here is the coverage from the various news outlets:

Channel 11: link
Channel 8: link
Dallas Morning News: link

Despite the owners claims, the Classic/Townview Motel has long been a breeding ground for prostitution, drugs, and violence. I know that I don't have to convince any of you of the type of crime that the Classic Motel allows; you've seen it for yourself at some point in time.

We appreciate the coverage by all news outlets involved.
