The Cottonwood Motel sign in Lewistown still stands trying to

The Stars Motel still
sits along the roadside in Chicago, IL. This googie sign found along busy Lincoln Avenue is a reminder to the signage that used be quite popular after the war.
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
