The Wigwam Village in Cave City, KY
features a fantastic neon marquee out front. Not to mention the rarity
of seeing a motel with rosoms in the shape of a tee pee.

Yes, there are still rooms for rent at the 11-70 Motor Courts in Knoxville, TN. Off the 40, not sure if this motor court still serves
as a roadside stop for a tired traveler.

Here's the White Horse Motel in Biscoe, NC. Check out
this unique type of marquee outside the motel. The sign appears very clean
and spotless. Not sure what the motel's like though.
The Biltmore Tourist Court's sign stands tall in Knoxville, TN
and points a person into the waiting office.

Robins Motel

The Robins Motel is on a strip that follows some railroad tracks
in Warner Robins, Georgia. Several shacks lined the tracks such as bars
and convenience stores before there were chains. Directly across the street
was Robin's Air Force base - a huge facility which seemed on high alert.
Six sheriffs cars were parked out front and a constant stream of cars
were entering the base. A large bomber was circling overhead. It was a
very apocalyptic scene given recent events.
Peach Blossom Motel
Spartanburg, SC Photo and info courtesy Steve/Back on Tack
The Peach Blossom Motel sits on Business 85 through Spartanburg
in upstate SC. The neon writing seems almost overshadowed by what looks
like a boat mast of light bulbs off one side. Right next door is the motel
itself complete with a lit up flower. Peaches are big in this section
of the state.
