Check out this fun motel sign. The Brer
Rabbit Motel in Villa Park still features its bunny on the marquee
with a somewhat mischievous grin.
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

This photo of the Drake Motel in Springfield, OH looks like something
out of a 60's picture book. The tranquil setting harkens one back to the
days when the air was clear and traffic was nil.
