About 14 years ago, I went to a 40th birthday party there and stayed overnight at the hotel. Truly a culteral experience. I think the hotel was built in 1720, and never renovated.janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16924143111193387666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-77600044105334863832012-04-10T10:17:09.785-05:002012-04-10T10:17:09.785-05:00Brenda, you share a name with my mother. by which...Brenda, you share a name with my mother. by which i mean you couldn't possibly BE my mama cuz i KNOW she's not that badass. and if you happen to be my mom... you have some 'splaining to do! we would have to talk. over a tall drink.Valerie Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07191635464723235784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-67855761438883145692012-04-10T08:47:15.314-05:002012-04-10T08:47:15.314-05:00that's so awesome, Brenda.

If you think Frantz is teetering on the edge of humanity then you really haven't lived till you've spent a Friday night at one of the 3 little French hotels (which shall remain unnamed to protect the sordid innocent) just West, Northwest and Northeast of Whoville. Frantz Motor Inn is a luxury diner by comparison.

The girls who worked in there wore tight jeans and smoked on their breaks. I knew they'd smell country on me a mile away.

It was fun going there just knowing that it was one of the baddest places to be. I've only ever gone there with one of my childhood girl friends, she was kinda naughty though. Fun memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
