Future Plans Harold Steinberg, president of the Downing Corporation, says he has plans for several other mo tels in central locations in big cities. He did not divulge the names of the cities because of i he fact that deals are not yet closed for the land. He also is considering another similar sized motel in New YorK uty in an other location. The visitor to New York or anv other big city." says Stem bera. "wants a place where he can stav a few days and visit the places of interest without worrying about a place to keep his car and without the hign costs that accompany living at hotels, 'Reaction to the Skyline Motor Inn has been so enthusiastic, that the Downing Management Corp. already is planning for a second mid-Manhattan motor inn, ana we hope these will be the nucleus of a chain- of In-city motels pro jected by ,our group for major urban centers on the Eastern Seabord, as well as key Mid' western cities." Ne Seasonal Problems Steinberg said the present plans call for motels In areas where there are no seasonal problems None is planned any farther south than Virginia because the resort and other seasonal sections already are well provided with motels, he said. Steinberg believes that this idea of motor inns in the center of big cities- will develop into trend throughout the nation. This type of development fits into a plan of many cities in try ing to lure back some of the tourists they have lost in recent years to poor road design. The ribbbons of concrete state roads often run to the edge of a town and then leave the tourist to wind his weary way through a maze of streets to his destination. Today the roads are being planned to carry the tourists through the cities and hence the need has developed for new motor inns so that they can visit the larger metropolises. - These inns are big building business, too.
