This cardboard block looking sign is what now advertises the Kern
Motor Inn in Bakersfield. Not sure what the original sign looked
like or how roadside worthy it was, but it's hard to imagine that it could've
been any more plain than this.

Motel in Madera, CA.

The Globe Motel still features a marquee that points
the way into the motel itself. This motel still stands on Union, old 99, in the central California town of Bakersfield.

Here's an interesting roadside motel with a marquee design that's a throwback
to an earlier era. The Rex Motel features a rooftop marquee with
a crown theme. Not sure if the ball on top still light up though.

Big Star Motel

Here's the Big Star Motel in Fresno. Featuring the shapes
of yesteryear, the marquee is quite a roadside treasure. This old sign must have been quite a sight to see, back when the neon was intact and showing of the motel row in Fresno.

Here's the marquee for the Suburban Lodge. Most noteworthy part
of this sign is the large boomerang arrow.
