Longtime Athens motel owners retire after 30 years of service
Hasu and Pat Patel, owners of Hometown Inn, are selling the 29-room Athens motel and moving to Virginia to be near family after three decades in town. They moved from New Jersey seeking work and chose Athens in the mid 1980s, renovating the rundown property and securing a long awaited Route 50 billboard sign despite earlier zoning delays.

Tom Gibbs suspects miscommunication rather than theft, as Grace asserts her records matched the bank balance when she departed June 30. The dispute prompted hiring of CPA Alex Couladis and attorney Jonathan Sowash to obtain more financial information.
