This is The Wyndham Springfield Hotel in Springfield, Illinois

This is the city’s tallest building but now sits closed, abandoned and boarded up

The owner is Al Rajabi, an Arabic man who tries to committed fraud by paying to have the property vandalized to get a payout

Here’s what happened

The hotel suffered extensive flooding and vandalism occurred, damaging multiple floors, elevators, fire suppression systems, alarms, electrical systems, and more.

The Springfield Police, Fire Department, and Illinois State Fire Marshal investigated it as intentional vandalism from the start. The building was declared unsafe, leading to closure and layoffs

Owner Al Rajabi filed a large claim

Insurer Affiliated FM refused payment and countersued, explicitly alleging that:

- Rajabi intentionally caused or colluded in the damage like cutting pipes and damaging electrical systems
- He made “willful misrepresentations and concealments.”

A prior 2024 “lightning strike” claim for which they paid $4.05 million was also fraudulent with exaggerated with minimal actual damage

All these people do is scam. Diversity is not our strength

Today Mel Brooks is 99 years old. An American war hero, our greatest comedy director, and one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, I just love him. And if you are ever lucky enough to meet him, you will, too.

Happy Birthday, Mel Brooks!

@historyinmemes History Note, Howard Johnson’s restaurant built the structure and until they went away, operated a restaurant for people to eat above the highway, until McDonalds moved in.
