With summer fading fast here in Seattle you just might have time for one last road trip.
Take Highway 99 and take in the America that once was.

That’s a shame. That is one awesome neon sign. I love Jenson’s motel/hotel shots.
You sure don’t see many Volkswagen Bus airport shuttles these days, do you?
Dad, can we stop there??? They’ve got T.V.!!!!!!
Small world, my grandma and grandpa owned this motel! According to Dad, this picture was probably taken right before they bought it. I assume that if the sign was in storage somewhere I would have been told about it by now.

And no matter, that’s what is so super about modernized democracy and the marketplace of thoughts on-line.I will are available back again.
