The Mission Inn Foundation nonprofit can no longer lead tours of the Mission Inn after its legal beef with the hotel ended badly, but it’s now offering three tours daily of the hotel’s perimeter. I go on the first. (I’m the only one there, meaning I have the undisputed title of first to take the tour.) I write about the tour, the dispute and the hotel in my Wednesday column.
I’d been meaning for a few months now to comment on the dispute and had some silly jokes about it stored away. Finally, I found a way to use them!
