Vintage Signs: Motell
"I almost stoled one of those signs, when I found them behind this abandoned motel, but I didn't. Would've been great to rebuild the neontubes and light up the roof of my house... "

Blog: Motel Hell
No, I haven't experienced a weekend at/of Motel Hell, but I have been absent. Busy, just busy...
Sorry about that!
Now, back to the good stuff.
Check out the blog, Motel Hell (from the very same guy that gave us Old Haunts; Deviled Ham; Malls Of America and Santa and Me!).

The Gobbler
What were they thinking?
Imagine the pitch to the investors:
'It's going to be a futuristic, state-of-the-art motel with every modern convenience from water beds to 8-tracks. The entire dining area will be covered in deep-pile pink and purple carpet. But wait - here's the best part. It will look like an abstract sculpture of a giant turkey. We'll bill it as a romantic getaway - and call it The Gobbler!'"
