The Cedar Lodge in Medford looks out over the main highway. This lodge setting looks rather tranquil.

Though the signage themselves aren't the most unique, they are representative of signage that are both seen today and of what was quite common back in the day.

Off Aurora in Seattle is the Green Lake Motel and its very tall and narrow marquee. Looks like the neon still lights up on this sign. The red arrow points the way into the entrance.

UPDATE 07/08 : The Green Lake Motel was closed in May 2008 by the health department and all tenants were evicted. Not sure of what the current status of the motel is. 07-08

When "wandering" around B.C., don't forget to visit the Wander-Inn in Cache Creek. The cafe is still open despite the fact the motel itself is now closed down.

The Crown Motel off Industrial in Portland still features an intact mid-century sign. It's also quite fun to get yelled at while standing outside.
