Was going to say I don't know how people afford hotels in Boone these days. Airbnb type places make more sense for the price these days. If I live far away and had to stay in the Boone area I would pick Wilkesboro, West Jefferson or somewhere with better prices with a little drive.

With the building gone you can see where the sink hole was, it looks like there is some old concrete infrastructure thing there. Maybe was a culvert or something.

Honestly, where the location is, it kind of makes sense to have another parking deck there. I know we hate parking decks, but we also hate not having parking. I never visited Legends my entire 5 years at App for what it's worth though.

Parking deck up at baseball, parking deck attached to Peacock in the future.

you missed some bangers. Yo Mamas Big Fat Booty Band was always a blast.

Costly, but smart from a development standpoint in a high barrier to entry market. Saves on land by going dense and vertical.

DG would totally mack it in that spot. But I think we can all agree that a parking garage would be the highest and best use of the lot.

The vision plan for the Peacock lot area (parking deck & greenway/park area) is really cool. But last we heard, some underground hydraulic issues were discovered in that area which could throw the parking deck plans into question.
