Here's the Se-Tay Motel and its marquee out front. According to the guy at the front desk, this place was built in about 1951 or 52
and is the oldest motel in town. 12-06

(Near left) Yes, the motel is "cooled by refrigeration"
Turns out the motel was built in 1949 by the original owner named Yates. Read Yates backwards and see what that spells.
UPDATE 11/20 : The sign has been painted over completely as seen in Fall 2020. It was a shame to see this vintage sign gone, especially after the City of Casa Grande has been making efforts on a neon sign park recently.
UPDATE : The sign was painted blue with palm trees and an American flag on site. 06-23 |
