This motel and suites in Fresno can be seen from off the main highway. Unfortunately, all of the lettering was removed about a year ago and hasn't been replaced. It may be gone forever.
Here's a motel that somewhat near Bakersfield, off the 99. Grab some gas, eat at the cafe, and sleep in the motel. Yep, we're talking one stop shop, or stop, here.
The Sage Motel's marquee sign is relatively unremarkable, but it's great that it's not some old backlit plastic sign like so many others.
The Bel Air Motel still looks like it did some 40 years ago, with its liberal use of flagcrete surrounding the front. The marquee no longer lights up the night though.
Here's the Colonial Motor Hotel in Bakersfield. The arrow points down to the outline of "color TV" lettering on its board, though the vacancy doesn't light up any more.
The Cinderella Motel features a sign that's not necessarily "Cinderella" like in form, though welcome.
Here's an old streamline sign still sitting along the road in Bakersfield.
Just the name Astro conjures up images of space age ports, flying vehicles, and even the Jetson's dog. Here's the Astro Motel with a radiant orb atop its roof, perhaps transmitting interplanetary signals?
Here's White's Motel in Mojave, near the airplane graveyard. The rather prominent advertising of "television" is a sign of the era this marquee came from.
Visalia is a town just east of the 99 in the Central California area. Check out the Marco Polo Motel, which is one of the first signs you'll encounter as you get into the city off the highway.
