Motel...

Here's an old motel sign that is barely standing up to the tests of time. This shell is located in Illinois. At one time, this sign proudly proclaimed that the motel offered TV and directed the wandering traveler to its office. Now, this sign just stands here rusting off the lonesome highway.


Linn's Motel
Herrin, IL

Linn's Motel near Herrin, Illinois features the fact that it's a heated motel court very prominently. It's seldom "seen advertised as big as the actual name." It's a real eye catcher, especially during these cold months.


Friendship Motel
WI

Another Wisconsin treasure is the Friendship Motor Court. Instead of using an arrow, the shape of the marquee itself points toward the lodging area.


Soy City Motel
IL

The Wayfare Motel looks like a 1930's/40's marquee. Interesting to see how times have changed... you can get free Showtime here.


Downers Grove Motel
