The Metro Motel - where guests check in but they don't check out.
BTW, this is also a shelter for families with children.

the mets motel. now I know.
You gotta do a story on all those new apt. buildings on the blvd of destitution, crappy. A lot of them still have vacancies, and are starting to look cruddy.
It makes those bike lanes there even more asinine.
I worked there as a desk clerk in the early 90's when it was the Mets Motel. At that time it was not a homeless shelter or welfare hotel though if I recall correctly it had been in the 80's sometime and I guess is now. Very scary place even then. I worked/survived the overnight shifts on the weekend. Back then there were a lot of cab driver shootings and murders in the area. Lots of drug dealers and prostitutes around. It was such a relief to leave there in the morning alive.

Maybe they stopped in for a quickie?
Was it a murder? In our safe, secured, state of the art shelter system?
was someone murdered there no news on the TV or anything -
Drug OD or murder?
