Boston Connection

Terre Haute used to have a hotel named the Boston Connection. Of course, the theme was all about Larry Bird. The hotel had one of the best restaurants in town during its prime. Inside, there was a room to shoot baskets, and Larry Bird paraphernalia all over the walls. There was a penny machine that flattened pennies and put Celtics designs on them. My family and I used to go to the Boston Connection at least every week, sometimes more than once. On Sundays, they had an amazing breakfast buffet, and there other food was great as well. Several years ago, the Boston Connection was closed down and became a Days Inn. It slowly turned into a dump. It later became an Economy Inn, and because less than a dump. Now, the hotel is under construction. Like everything else, the Boston Connection was a highlight of Terre Haute that was destroyed. Even though the building is under construction now, it will never come close to competing with the Boston Connection.
