Here's a roadside motel that may fit you to a T. The sign advertising
the Tulare Inn is a sign you can't miss off the highway.
Well, at least that's the way it used to be. This roadside icon of a sign
was recently removed. Another of the highway's reminders of its past is
now gone.

The Fresno Sands Motel marquee stands tall alongside Motel drive.
From the looks of things, this must have been one huge establishment in
its heyday.

This sign high up the roadside points to the Tower

rather worn... not sure what the lodging areas are now like these days.
