Dallas City Council closes another South Dallas motel
Wednesday the Dallas City Council followed the City Plan Commission recommendation to close the Colonial Motel in South Dallas. The Colonial Motel in has been on the chopping block for a little more than a year.
The Colonial Motel owners lost their case in federal court to stay open. They have since closed, and now they will not get a specific use permit. Keep in mind they should've applied for the permit more than ten years ago. Kudos to the parents and administrators of St. Philips School for bringing this issue to City Hall and following through with their goal of shutting this place down.
This piece of garbage can now hit the bricks along with the others:
Motel Three (South Oak Cliff)
Southern Comfort Motel (South Oak Cliff)
Sunset Motel (South Oak Cliff)
American Inn (South Dallas)
Two more motels are on the chopping block. They will be announced in the coming weeks.

Thanks Chris. With the Mayor, Dwaine, and others we finally started making some headway. Hate to say it, but when LM was the Mayor we couldn't get any help with this issue. But now it's on!
