The Alamo Hotel once existed on this site. The following is the last paragraph of the story quoted below. Kevin's story has the curses sprinkle concoctions ingredients listed. Thank You Kevin, Its an interesting bit of "history". Sorry about the political comment enragegcamel.
"Opened in 1925, the Alamo Hotel slowly declined from respectability to seediness during its storied six-decade existence on the western side of downtown. It was home to many characters, none more famous than Sam Houston Johnson, the hard-living brother of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Despite protests, it was demolished in 1984, after which a street minister named Tony Hearn laid a curse on the property where he had wanted to plant a homeless mission."
