The Fremont Turnpike Motel is an old roadside motel found in Oak Harbor.
Somewhat close to the Fremont is the Orchard Motel and its still standing motel marquee.
This old roadside sign for the Stardust Motel is located in El Dorado, KS. This is a fine example of a sign from the mid-century, back when landing on the moon was all the rage.
Here's a nice shot of the marquee for the Parakeet Motel, located in the Route 66 town of Springfield, MO. The multicolored parakeet depicted on the sign just adds to the character of the road.
Here's a shot of an old abandoned motel. I doubt this is what the Beach Boys were singing about in their song Kokomo.
Get some rest and relaxation at the R&R Motel in Cambridge City, IN. Not sure about sleep with drinking cokes and watching color TV all night.
Not sure if the Tip Top Motel is still in tip top shape in the Chicago area these days. 11-05
The sparkle faded long ago at the Gem Motel in Gem, IN.
The Stars Motel still sits along the roadside in Chicago, IL. Update 09/06 : The Stars Motel on Lincoln Avenue is in the process of being demolished for new condo development. Thanks to the concern by the new developer over saving this sign, the sign was placed on eBay and sold for about a hundred dollars. The sign was purchased with plans to install it in a clothing store on Armitage Avenue in Chicago. Many thanks to Scott Schiller for update. 09-06
The Chippewa Motel in Wisconsin Dell, WI features a native american headdress on its marquee.
The Cadet Motor Inn in Coldwater, MI features a large image of a cadet next to the large letters on the sign. This is a motel sign that still shows its character.
