The Relax Inn Motel in Phoenix lights up the sky, one of the few roadside motels still lit up on this old boulevard. It's always a shame to see a roadside corridor that has lots much of its magic.

How about this neon shot of a swimmer hitting the water. Swimmer neon marquees in the desert used to appeal to the hot and weary traveler looking for a mirage or oasis to cool off for the evening.

The Starlite Motel and its marquee features animated neon that is becoming rare these days. Check out the sequence of the neon diver making a splash at this Mesa, AZ delight. 01-08

UPDATE 10/10 : The Starlite Motel lost its animated neon diver sign in a thunderstorm on October 5. According to the Arizona Republic, the 50 year old sign was destroyed when a powerful wind gust sheared off a metal pole support. The motel owner states the sign most likely will not be replaced due to funds required and Mesa's sign ordinance. Another roadside treasure has become just a memory.

See more information and photos at Roadside Peek's Lost Treasures feature on the Starlite Motel.

Many thanks to Sarah Moore for news alert. 10-10
