Time doesn't stand still for very long. The Gate Lodge was demolished and the Restaurant was converted again.

The Restaurant now sits forlornly all alone--with the Gate Lodge and Blacksmith Shop Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge gone, just the Restaurant and guest buildings remain (2005). Brian Florence (http://www.deadmalls.com) reported that the site's owner, Aviation Mall, makes changes (demolishes) things periodically perhaps to appease the local populace since the former Motor Lodge/Restaurant has sat vacant for so long under the mall's ownership. Ironically the Motor Lodge's vintage brochure advertises Aviation Mall as a reason to stay at the Lodge. Mr. Florence suggested that perhaps the rest of the site should be leveled in order to remake the I-87/Aviation Road interchange to meet current traffic demands--unfortunately I agree with him...
