Can anyone help me w/ this puzzle. I have a listing for a Haper's Motel. The only info I can find on the 'net is this post card:

598ddf0bbec34_HarpersMotel.JPG.79a00a54da4fd86c223fdaa686232213.JPG

I've driven thru Chalk River a couple of times over the past 3 years & don't recall any buildings that resemble it.

Apparently it was demolished along with the service station back in 99 to make room for hwy 17 expansion. 

Will see if i can post the link.

Link may not work. 

If you search the first part of the link there is some interesting history.

The link does work. Thanks for the info. Some interesting reading.

 

This just shows your some of the useless info on the 'net. If the motel was gone long before Al Gore invented the internet, I wonder how I found out about it?

 

I pretty much ignore any hits from these domains:

 

manta.com

yelp.com

canpages.com

cylex.ca

staycanada.ca

ibegin.com

And not to be left out:

 

profilecanada.com

 

These sites pretty much have identical info. If you were to Google any of the abandoned Wawa motels, the only results would be found on these domains. To read the info, you'd think the businesses were still open.
