Here's a shot of the marquee just outside the Maples Motel in Sandusky, OH. Look, the motel is even heated!
The Lincoln Motel in Chicago, IL still points the wayward traveler in towards its lodging. This sign is one of the survivors along the main Lincoln route in the Windy City.
Check out this great sign for the U.S. Grant Motel.
Another fine marquee sits outside the Tip Top Motel in Chicago, IL. This motel is another of the old rooadside motels found along Lincoln Avenue in Chicago.
The Cottonwood Motel sign in Lewistown still stands trying to capture travelers. Not sure if the neon tubing on this grand old sign still works today.
The Crest View Motel sign is a throwback to the era when many of the motel signs located right off the roadside had some semblance of character, color, and uniqueness to capture the eye of a prospective tourist looking of a place to spend the night. The sign still advertises its amenities including "air conditioning" and "television".
Wow, free television at a motel. Get treated like a star at The Stars Motel in Chicago.
UPDATE 09/06 : The Stars Motel on Lincoln Avenue is in the process of being demolished for new condo development. Thanks to the concern by the new developer over saving this sign, the sign was placed on eBay and sold for about a hundred dollars. The sign was purchased with plans to install it in a clothing store on Armitage Avenue in Chicago. Many thanks to Scott Schiller for update. 09-06
The Capital Motel features lodging inside and near its marquee. Not sure if the sofa behind the tree is a recliner, though.
Heart O Chicago Motel An eye-catching sign in its own right, the Heart O Chicago Motel features red, white, and blue colors just in time for Independence Day.
