The former Holiday Inn, along the Turnpike north of Caribbean Blvd., posed for this slide with assorted doors, windows, cladding, and signage blown out and scattered to the two winds of the eyewall. Despite the ugly superficial damage, this steel-reinforced concrete edifice stayed structurally sound, and soon reopened for business. This building since has been a Best Western and now is a Motel 6, with a completely different facade, at least its third since the great hurricane of ’92.
