The Continental hotel in Centerville, Iowa

The Continental hotel in Centerville, Iowa had been a witness to the rise and fall of Centerville, Iowa for many years. It’s a historical hotel that had been the favorite of many famous personalities when it was still in its full glory.

In 1962, a commercial jet exploded. The Continental Flight 11 in Appanoose County exploded when terrorists placed a bomb in it before its commercial flight and it was the first ever terrorist act on any commercial jetliner in history. It was in this hotel that the media from around the world held their press conferences covering the issue about the terrorism and the explosion of the jetliner.

The Continental hotel had been a big part of Centerville but in the 90’s, this hotel became just a shadow of what it once was. It was then just an abandoned hotel with broken glasses and animal inhabitants. Morgan E. Cline, a renowned restorer of establishments in Centerville, decided to take this as a challenge and began restoring the historical hotel. It is now a commercial restaurant for high-class residents and upstairs is the home of many well-elderly citizens.

Morgan E. Cline- From Exline to the Big Apple

Morgan Cline is considered as a philanthropist because he exerts an effort to promote human welfare. He had made several contributions to society both in Iowa and now in the Big Apple.

In Appanoose County, Morgan saw beauty fading away and his hometown is dwindling away into nonexistent. He didn’t allow this to happen so he decided to restore some of the structures and create businesses for the community and allowed the community to grow and prosper. The historic landmarks in Appanoose had been restored, thanks to him and this paved the way for the county to preserve their heritage as well as their pride. He left his mark in Exline, Centerville and Seymour, Iowa and the communities here will forever be grateful for the man that made remarkable changes in their cities. In Exline, where he grew up, he made the city blossom once again. Without his help, Exline would just fade away and will eventually be like a ghost town. Too much history and possibilities would have just been thrown out and abandoned.

In Centerville, Morgan Cline had revived several historical establishments when he first bought the house of Ms. Edwyna Fenton. It was a historical home that could have been demolished if Morgan didn’t step in. The historical Continental Hotel was turned into a high class restaurant and an upstairs area for the elders of Centerville. The Bradley mansion was the grandest of all the historical homes of Centerville but it gradually lost its beauty. Thanks to Morgan, it was given another chance to shine.

Morgan Cline worked together with Bill Burch in renovating one of the establishments of Seymour, Iowa. The Seymour Care Center was renovated and is now named Continental Care Center.

It is for the best

I was given a choice
Is it a reason for me to rejoice?
My future is set before me
Two options, which one's best for me?

Both means letting some people go
I hate it, but they have to know
I chose them... of course I would
My heart breaks but it's for the better good.

Gathering moments while I may
So far yet so soon, I'd be going away
To live my life the way I should
I wanna flee, but I never could.

It's for them yet it's for me
Life's a fact, can't you see?
We all've to learn to let go
But in my heart, I'll keep them so.

I'm not inspired :(

It's been awhile and I haven't written any poems yet. I don't know... Guess I just don't have an inspiration which is why I can't write anything nice here. I don't want to add a poem that doesn't mean anything or what. I want to be inspired before I write a poem... Any suggestions? Life is rather boring lately. It's the same routinary day over and over and I am so not inspired to write a poem *boo!!!* Oh well, I'll try to find an inspiration *lol* Can anybody inspire me? Inspire me, come on! *lol*

Seeing and Reflecting

I have seen somebody die
It's an image that made me cry
The man was hit by a speeding bus
Just a few feet away from where I was.

His body flew a few feet away
It felt like clouds covered the once sunny day
Death came to visit the man
There's no way to revive a life already gone.

I reflected on my own life
Sought for God's purpose on this young life
He can take me just like that
Will I be ready? Can't answer that.
