… oh, we’ll diplomatically go with “a few” more to go.
The image above shows the rubbly remains of the ol’ “Action News 6” building on the corner of Broadway and Wabash being loaded onto a truck for haul — the building sat vacant for years and has been a frequent squatter magnet.
OK, which Broadway bummer wants to volunteer to go next?

Squish the scumbagger slimeballs while you’re hauling the trash to the dump.
The pine hotel, or whatever it was. looks like it just closed, now mow it down please. That and the fireside inn.
How about every place on South Broadway that is vacant? That would be a major improvement, could even make room for a safe bike lane and sidewalk. Couple of street trees, even. Never have gotten used to what a horrible face Eureka presents to visitors from the south.
Eureka blows ass.
the TOWN DOWNER!! is a complete blight and health and safety hazard. When I lived over there, nothing but needles, transients, unknown types sleeping on my porch. fires, and constant police calls. This is the same neighborhood as the Inn, and really reflects the area!!! It is a good thing patrons of the Inn go in the front door!! TEAR IT DOWN, make it a park or something.
Put the bums into an abandon building and light it on fire.
Oh my gosh are you people idiots? You can tear is all down, build what you want, but until cold-hearted, uncaring, blind, and wretched people like you wake up and deal with the real problems in this country we are going to have to live with more and more “scumbagger slimeballs” and “bums” with all the evils that that entails.
I’d like to see a Welcome Center built on the site of the Pine Motel. There’s space for parking and room enough behind to put in a few picnic tables for out-of-town tourists. Now let’s clean up a few of the other blights on Broadway and make a welcome pleasant entry from the south.
Recently used as channel six. In the 60’s this was “The Olympic Club”. It had an olympic size indoor pool and weight lifting stations upstairs. Many a happy evening spent there with Dad and Brothers swimming and lifting weights. Goodbye old friend.
To all you whiners. Get a life!
This so-called “eyesore” was another sound structure that could have been remodeled and kept in productive use. What a waste of resources.
The real eyesore is yet-another brand new big hotel on Eureka’s Death-Strip 101, but we don’t criticize “new and improved” no matter how much additional blight and hardship it will wreak upon the local-owned independent hotels everyone likes to complain about.
The 15-year blight behind the Eureka Inn is OK because it’s owned by one of the good ol’ boys.
As long as they keep electing the developer’s lap dogs at city hall nothing will change in Eureka.
So tell us anonymous @10:54, what have YOU done?????
If Eureka began electing people willing to “just say no” to haphazard (“take whatever is handed to us”) development, they’d stop digging their economic hole deeper.
When will Eureka wake up to the “free-market” voodoo that’s already trashed rural economies across America?
DON’T FEED THE PEDOFILES
DON’T FEED THE BUMS
DON’T FEED THE TWEAKERS

The KVIQ building was full of toxic mold. Following the December 26, 1995, earthquake, toxic mold began to grow in the building due to a leaky roof. The damage was never properly repaired and the mold spread, making the building uninhabitable. Then, of course, KVIQ became a shell of its former self as its operations were sent elsewhere. There are articles about this is some old ass issues of the journal.
What a waste.
I heard there was a porno shot on the old Open Line set sometime in the mid-1970’s. Only the ghost of The Little Ole Homemakers really know…..
