You really haven't done Mesquite until you've stayed at the Big Town Inn

Among its amenities: roaches, mold (although some of it may be painted over), toilet tank covers that don't fit and stained mattresses (what they are stained with is best left to the imagination).

This dream destination may be a thing of the past, however. For some reason, the city is closing the place (although, according to this story, the inn was still booking rooms earlier this week).

The story also says the inn is about $30,000 behind in tax payments to the city and school district and is also behind on utility payments. The owners claim the city is harassing them. For the life of me, I can't understand why.
