The Clark Inn Motel points the way to a busy Fremont
Street motel. Well, in this case it was an empty dirt lot. The Clark Inn
sign no longer stands, just another of the roadside treasures to fade
away to dust.

The Clark Inn Motel is a sign advertising a motel ... that's no
longer there. Yes, the arrow does point to a vacant lot.... how poignant.
UPDATE 05/06 : The sign for the Clark Inn was also taken down from the site several years ago. Currently there is nothing at the site other than a dirt lot. 05-06
