The Golden Age of the American Motel

Family road trips harken back to a simpler, happier time (although I remember my sisters and I embroiled in back seat wars). In the 1950s and 60s Americans took to the road on family vacations and spent nights at roadside motels that dotted every highway across the US.  If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger,There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats has posted a nice collection of these lodgings in their heyday.
