The Wigwam Village in Cave City, KY features a fantastic neon marquee out front. Not to mention the rarity of seeing a motel with rooms in the shape of a tee pee.
The Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN is the location where Martin Luther King was shot that fateful day on April 4, 1968. King was shot by James Earl Ray while standing on the balcony of this motel. Motel Sign This motel sign billboard still sits outside this quaint looking lodging area in Arkansas.
Stop by the King Motel and take a moment for a dip in the swimming pool. Not sure how deep the water is here, though.
The East Gate Motel occupies a bustling block along Brainerd Road in Chattanooga, TN. It is about five miles outside the downtown area. Across the street is Sir Goony's Fun Center which offers bumper boats, laser tag, go-karts and paintball. The real draw however is its many folksy characters that serve as obstacles on two 18-hole miniature golf courses.
By all accounts, it looks like the Warrior Motel in Whittier, NC has gotten the chop. A drive through the parking lot revealed vacant motel rooms and a registration office that had become a ghost rider in the sky. Hopefully, the classic motel along US 19 is just undergoing renovations. When its majestic sign was lit, the Indian yielded a neon tomahawk that bobbed up and down.
The Lookout Lodge in still standing in Chattanooga, TN. The hotel itself is spooky and empty.
Here's a roadside sign for the Birmingham Motel, located in none other than Birmingham, AL. The little figure on the top is a swimmer or diver.
Here's the Etowah Motel in Etowah, TN. The old weathered sign points the way into a ghostly location.
Next door to the Etowah Motel above is the Holiday Terrace Motel and this rather large roadside marquee.
Here's a vintage sign for the Tarrymore Motel. The sign points the way in to this motel that is located in Jackson, MS. Can't tell if this sign lights up at all though.
