The city of Reno continues to modernize and mow down the cute little Route 66 type motels. All that is left of the Savoy Motor Lodge is this sign. Not sure why they didn't take it down, perhaps some collector wanted it. Many thanks to Dan MacPherson for photo and update. 12-08

 

(Below) Here is the El Dorado Motel in Reno, NV. The El Dorado is an old time survivor in Reno on the old highway to Carson City and Virginia City. Based on the surrounding development in the area, this roadside veteran won't be around much longer. 03-08

Here's the venerable sign for the Ho Hum Motel, located along busy South Virginia Street near downtown Reno. Even with all the redevelopment going on in the city, the Ho Hum Motel and its sign still welcome travelers down the main drag. 12-10
