Those people in the pic look sooo unhapy. They're probably thinking about all of the coins they lost in that yard.

Good luck finding them!

Seems like the Schaeffers had some money to move the Hotel to another place. You're on the spot where the hotel used to be, right? I guess either spot would have to bring some sweet oldies. Good luck on your recoveries and let us see the results!
