The colors and design of this sign make it a real roadside attraction.

Check out the star topping off the red and white lettering of the Star. 10-05 Update 12/06 : The Star Motel in Yates Center, KS has changed its sign. The wonderful neon beauty seen at the left is gone and replaced it with one of those ever increasingly prevalent hollow plastic signs. You know the kind; square, lit from inside, no imagination. I guess they are cheaper to run. No idea of what has happened to that timeless wonder that once stood atop the Star. Many thanks to Greg West for update. 12-06 Rocking R Motel Burlington, KS Photo courtesy Greg West The Rocking R Motel features an old roadside motel marquee catching the eye of busy travelers passing by. 01-06 Pages : 1 2 [3] 4 Main \| Auto Alley \| Bowling \| Drive-ins \| Eateries \| Motels Icons \| Retrolook \| Signage \| Theater Home \| Search \| What's New \| Contact Disclaimers, Copyright, and Trademarks Page Last Updated December 27, 2006
