We could soon be seeing one of the saddest days in homosexual history as the Parliament House All-Gay Resort in Orlando (410 North Orange Blossom Trail) faces foreclosure, according to the Orlando Sentinel… The hotel, which opened in the 1960s as a stopover along what was then a highly traveled section of U.S. Highway 441, suffered after Interstate 4 opened in the mid-1960s and became the preferred route for travelers through Central Florida. Historians say it became a gay club in the 1970s. Entrepreneur Donald Granastein and his wife purchased it in 1999 and have operated it since then. The couple have been credited with renovating and reinvigorating the somewhat-faded landmark on the western edge of downtown. Granastein said Monday he didn't have the money to repay the note when it came due. He added that he holds the liquor license and expects to continue operating it, even under a receiver.” So there’s still hope for you guys who love to play the P-House’s favorite game, ”Balcony Bingo”. Don’t know what Balcony Bingo is? Just read a few of THESE REVIEWS and you’ll probably get a better idea. You’ll also get an idea of how gross the entire complex is. All that said, pretty much the entire JC staff concedes that we’ve had some pretty memorable times there. Long Live P-House!”Houston-based Southwest Guaranty Ltd. and Compass Bank of Alabama initiated foreclosure actions against the property on North Orange Blossom Trail in July over a $7.5 million mortgage that matured at the end of 2009. Attorneys for the creditors said Monday they expect it will taken over this week by a court-appointed receiver, which would continue the club's operations under court orders.
