They Don't Like Your Kind Downtown

According to Ms. Sylvia Baker - The Old Central Hotel was constructed around 1812, and is made of masonry and red cedar. Sylvia Baker was denied a permit by code enforcer Randy Farley. Farley informed Ms. Baker - an African American Good Samaritan - "Even if you do get a permit you will not be able to open a hotel because They Don't Like Your Kind Downtown".
