I spent the night in Wells about 8 years ago, and drove out to the Kee on snowy roads. They were showing something I’d already seen, but I donated the price of a ticket, and the kindly old man who was running the place let me wander around and take a bunch of pictures. When I get them up on Flickr, I’ll share a link.

The commercial is for Preparation H. That’s the relationship.

Current commercial shot in and around Kiester shows the facade of the Kee. Must be a bad commercial. Don’t remember what it was for and I’ve seen it a couple of times. Definitely had some relationship to the slang term kiester.

Did it survive the tornado tonight? Was it damaged?

There is a little animated drawing of the Kee on the city website:
