Every time we visit the kids in Joplin, I admire this great motel sign. It is on the southern end of Main and close to Route 66. I understand that the motel has seen down times, as most motels from this era, I would imagine. I wish the owners would realize what a true mid century gem they have and do some up-keep on this wonderful sign. This picture was taken a week before the horrific tornado. However, it is well south of the tornado's path and I think it is in decent shape.
Blast from the past, grat sign
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to say, that this sign no longer exists. It and the motel were tore down this Spring.
