Motel Shorts
Description: Bunny's Motel first opened their doors in 1957 in Grants Pass, Oregon, serving the traveling public who were increasingly exploring the country in the decade following WWII's end. While information on who Bunny was is lost to the sands of time, her motel lives in, albeit as apartments today, though her iconic bunny sign still stands tall and may very well be the single most photographed objet d'art in Grants Pass.
Description: Originally built in 1936 at 251 Union Avenue (at the corner of Union and Terrace Way) in Bakersfield, California, the El Adobe Motel started as a restaurant and evolved into a popular night spot with a lounge, dining, dancing, and live entertainment. In 1941, the restaurant and lounge were remodeled, and an extensive addition was mounted to add lodging and new amenities, including a swimming pool. The revamped property was reopened as the El Adobe Motel, and spent the next four decades as one of Bakersfield's better places to find accommodations.
Description: Kings Inn was a budget motel located right on Daytona Beach off of the main drag. Despite being in business for decades ('50s through the '80s), not much info survives and from what we found, their logotype was all over the place with no real standards to speak of, but this example which came from an ashtray dated 1961, is one of our favorites. Kings Inn was a big sponsor of racing and backed teams in everything from stock car racing to motorcycle drags.
Description: If you're a big fan of the Physco movie, then you will like to have the sign to the Bates Motel.
