The first floor and stairwells are now boarded up completely. Patrols drive past this location quite frequently.\u00a0The last time I was here <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W-Y4qLRTSvw&amp;feature=player_embedded\" target=\"_blank\">shooting footage for a documentary<\/a> the local Sheriff asked what I was up to. I explained that I was merely shooting footage and would be immediately on my way out. This is a good tip for any urbexer. Don&#8217;t run from the police. Just be cool, explain yourself, be friendly and listen to what they tell you to do. Being confrontational and acting suspicious is a great way to end up with a ticket.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Fox Inn\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/57319697@N00\/4249740586\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2660\/4249740586_4a94dd010b.jpg\" alt=\"Fox Inn\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So what is the story behind the Fox Inn?<\/p>\n<p>One <a href=\"http:\/\/wwww.strangeusa.com\/ViewLocation.aspx?locationid=58780&amp;desc=%20Fox%20Inn%20%22%20Northern%20Inn%20%22%20%20Neenah%20%20Wi\" target=\"_blank\">uncredited source<\/a> says it closed in January, 2008. At the time I lived in Oshkosh and this seems to comport with what I saw when driving to Appleton. The Fox Inn used to be called the Northern Inn. The last major news item was a triple shooting committed by Chuckie Vang in 2005. Vang has since been captured thanks to a 2008\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amw.com\/fugitives\/case.cfm?id=54287\" target=\"_blank\">America&#8217;s Most Wanted<\/a> broadcast detailing his crime. The Menasha Police Department highlighted the arrest in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.town-menasha.com\/policeweb\/2008%20Annual%20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">public report<\/a> (PDF). Before closing the Fox Inn was home to low-income families and people down on their luck. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postcrescent.com\/article\/99999999\/APC0101\/708150648\/Housing-essence-of-everything\" target=\"_blank\">Post Crescent ran an article<\/a> on one such family living in the motel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Fox Inn.
