SE Motels Main | Neon | Other | Wigwam KY | SE Main
In Dentsville was the Grand Motel sign. Talking to the owner, this place had for some time been a rent by the hour motel. He was slowly restoring the motel back to a normal family place and intends to have the sign brought back to it's 1950's look. According to an old postcard picture, the star is not original. He turned on the neon so I could see how it looked. He wants to replace the flashing bulbs in the star with LED's and said the old blinking bulbs need to be replaced far too often. 02-08 (Far left) A good shot of the Grand Motel and its star (Near left) A look at the neon lit letters on the marquee

Check out Mac's Indian Village in Cherokee, NC. See more info and photos here at Roadside Peek's Spotlight on Mac's Indian Village. 04-08 UPDATE 05/08 : Mac's Indian Village is open for business. My husband and I have been running it for over a year now. It had been closed for a while. Eight months ago we took the Qualla Motel across the street. We are remodeling some of the tee pees and people come from all over to stay here and have been for many years. They've been there around the early 1900's. Many thanks to Phyllis, owner of Mac's Indian Village, for update. 05-08
