If you look on google street view maps at the Days Inn there is nothing about it that would set off alarms in your head if you travel much. There is a Holiday Inn behind it, a Sonic Drive-Inn on one side and the main roads on the other two sides. There is a Colton Steakhouse at the back corner and an Applebee's within sight. This is the kind of place I look for when traveling.
Just like anyplace there is bad areas you want to avoid but I've never considered this one of them. It is terrible what happened but a random crime of opportunity can happen anywhere.

I would hope folks will show up to all court proceedings to keep pressure on the authorities not to plea this case down and support the family. Here on long island,Abate is actively involved in any court and proceedings and strong showing keeps the courts on their toes. And you know these pos will have support in the courtroom. If you live in the area, try and be there.

You're right about that! Mary & I are still grieving, but we have begun to move on to celebrate his life!
The following pics are ones we posted in another thread, but I think they belong here too, so I'm copying and pasting them here.
*********************************
I told Mary about Larry. We talked about it, we decided to dedicate this years trip to his memory.
We started the trip in the Ozarks, meeting up with Larry and the crew that we have ridden with for many years.
If you look back earlier in this thread you will see pics from Day 2 & Day 3. Here are a few more pics of Larry from those days-
Always a smile!
Relaxing & enjoying the camaraderie and ride.
Candid shot-
Pit stop-
Larry enjoyed riding, & was...
...a kid at heart.
He always had a smile, time to talk, and strong but gentle spirit.
More in next post.

I can't remember the first year we met and rode together, but I've never seen him anything but happy, and was a friend from day one. We are still in shock.
Larry, John, & Gene-
At age 66 Larry had manage to preserve the child-like joy that comes from the simple things in life, and he loved to ride & wasn't inhibited about showing it!
Day 4-
The above pics were from Day 2 & 3. Day 4 it was John, Gene, Larry, myself & Mary that went for a ride. The following pics & video are from that ride.
Leaving the Hub. John is on his FJR, Gene his Gold Wing, Larry his Street Glide, and Mary & I are on our Tri-Glide.
We did not know it would be our last ride with Larry. He generally liked to ride drag, but today we told him we wanted to ride sweep so that we could take pics & video of him.
One of the roads we rode that day was AR123. Here is a short video of just a small bit of that road.
