A Great Mid Century Sign










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.

  2. I am sorry to say, that this sign no longer exists. It and the motel were tore down this Spring.
