UPDATE 3:06 p.m. Eureka officials closed the Blue Heron Motel in February of 2015. The North Coast Journal reported, the “property’s owners, Floyd and Betty Squires, have failed to secure a lodging permit for the 15-room on Broadway for this year, after operating without one for all of 2014. Chief Building Official Brian Gerving said the city has repeatedly notified the Squireses that they were operating the lodge in violation of the city’s motel ordinance, which requires all motels and hotels within city limits to get a permit. The Squireses, Gerving said, have repeatedly contended that the Blue Heron is not, in fact a motel or hotel.” Read more and see photos here.

Lol! !
I can’t believe that slum lord is still at it. I think slum lord and I envision Floyd. Really, that’s the truth.

Yes — it offends. BIG TIME.
Why in the hell would you even have to ask?!??

It’s not about “pc”. It’s about antisemitic stereotyping.

Your disgustingly ignorant post needs to come down.
DIY or get Kym to do it but either way, it’s got to go. NOW.

Funny, I drove by it today and thought to myself, “I wish that building would just burn down.”

I’m surprised it stood as long as it did. I forgot about the tweaker infestation there and ad to pull over to check a store location on phone, happened to pull up next to it on Broadway. Within seconds multiple tweakers/heroin whores came out and asked me what I needed, how much $ I got, and one person asked me for a ride to target….
