Here's the Golden Door Motel, complete with revolving wooden door on the motel. Mechanical signs like this one are few and far between in this day and age.

Here's a nice shot of the West-Wind Motel in all its neon greatness. This illinois rest stop is worth a look-see.

Check out the Brer Rabbit Motel and its smiling bunny on its sign. Quite the smile, to say the least.

UPDATE 08/08 : This great sign is GONE.  As of a week ago, there's now a very plastic box that simply says the name of the place. Many thanks to Gary for update. 08-08

The Villa Rosa Motel of Perry, OH looks stupendous in the twilight. This place is worth checking out, if just for a look-see at its marquee.

Check out this neon shot of the Courtesy Motel of Urbana, IL. The pulsating lines just waves about but does not quite hide the fact that the neon "E" is in the wrong color!

Here's a shot of The Stars Motel sign all lit up for the evening. Looks like the neon is in perfect working order.

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
