The Van Ness Motel still features working neon signage along one of San Francisco's busy streets.
The Francisco Bay Motel marquee lights up the night.
The City Center Motel marquee is just down the block from the motel itself... but it's situated in such a way that the sign just can not be missed by the passing motorists.
At dusk, the flamingos come out to say hello at the passing motorists. This scene can still be seen out front of the Flamingo Motel in San Jose, CA.
Check out the bright neon star standing out fittingly on the sign for the Star Motel in San Francisco. 09-09
Off on the east side of the 395 is the El Rancho Motel with its shining star.
Check out this marquee at the Rollin' Wheels Motel in Chicago, IL. The motel sign is a throwback to the era when having a TV and air conditioned were considered selling points to the weary travelers looking for a nice place to spend the evening and grab a rest. 12-10
UPDATE 08/12 : The marquee is long gone as the motel has been taken over by a chain. 08-12
