About a mile from my house are the remnants of an IHOP restaurant that went out of business several years ago. Apparently, the owners decided not to renew their franchise and the doors were shut. Shortly after closing, the establishment reopened as “Marcy’s Pancake House.” Unfortunately, “Marcy” flipped flapjacks for only a few months when a major plumbing disaster ruined the interior of the restaurant, causing the “House” to fold. Today, the old IHOP bit the dust for good when some large machinery was brought in to tear the building to the ground. For posterity sake, I had to snap this picture. Now the big question is: with IHOP gone, what will occupy the space?

That's a great picture! Unfortunately, my IHOP memories conist of 1:00 a.m. visits and they're all pretty foggy. I should have been home in bed.
Most people don't go to IHOP during the day. : )
