Lisa will likely split this off (as she should). But here it is:
The Pine Motel was initially a really nice motor lodge and had one of the first swimming pools in Denton County. Rumors are that there are some bodies at the bottom of the pool which is now filled in.
During the Texas International Pop Festival in 1969, the pines hosted some of the headliner bands, supposedly Janice Joplin, Santana, Grand Funk Railroad filled the motel.
By the time I moved to Lewisville in 1974, it was a wreck and a pretty low grade place, not even making 1 star.
The City of Lewisville has constantly looked for ways to improve the look of the place. Since they have never remodeled the motel everything is still grandfathered. The Pines does just enough maintenance to avoid being condemned.
Lewisville itself has some pretty interesting history including a bank robbery by Bonnie & Clyde. And the story how our football team got the name Fighting Farmers.
