Description
There's no doubt that the era of old Mom and Pop roadside motels has past. But I love the style of those old signs! So much optimism in those mid-century modern signs that it still bleeds through the rust and ruin.
I stumbled over this old motel sign on the outskirts of Cordele, Georgia some years ago. At the time the sign was just visible through the brush and the little motor court motel behind it was in ruins. I had to get out and capture it. I felt like I was capturing a little sliver of the past before it vanished altogether. The last time I saw it, the motel had been demolished and the sign had vanished beneath a jungle of green shrubbery, perhaps never to be seen whole again. So, I'm so happy I stopped that day and captured a little piece of fading Americana on the highways of Georgia.
