Check out the large marquee that stands tall outside the Tucson Inn, beckoning wayward motorists to check out its huge marquee and its lodging accommodations. The motel was built in 1953.

 

UPDATE 09/17 : Unfortunately, the Tucson Inn was closed in May 2017 due to various building violations. In speaking with the owner Susie Lin, she hopes to reopen in the fall or perhaps may retire as she is reaching nearly 40 years of ownership. In either case, she believes that the iconic sign will remain. Here's hoping for a reopening. 09-17
