RENO AND SPARKS MOTEL SIGNS/NEON
Just as I've done with Vegas - here are some classic 40's & 50's motel signs from Reno and Sparks. I couldn't do too many at night because so many of them are no longer lighted. Reno and Sparks could really spruce up 4th street (old Rt. 40) by relighting these signs as a first step to bringing this area back and making it a tourist attraction in the mode of Rt. 66. Hope someone out there is listening! I just post these for their beautiful signs. I have not stayed in any of these places and I make no recommendation regarding the safety of doing so. I'm sure some places are great. Other's probably not. I'm also throwing some other nice neon in to boot (obviously not motels). It seems neon, especially for motels has become a lost art.
