Love the verbiage. And recommended by Duncan Hines as well!
Wouldn't be to much later than that when they changed the marquee outside to read Free Color TV.
Now those lamps, I could use those in my ever retro-ing livingroom.
Wonder if the place is still operating?

That's on Chef Menteur Hwy (Hwy 90).
They had lots of neat vintage motels when I was small, of course, that's when the place started goin down. There was the Orbit motel which had a really cool revolving sign.

Is that the same place now rundown? too bad.
I know back home on the old hiway that started at the bridge coming over from Port Huron Mi into Ontario heading east. Hiway 7 I think it was called..we had the Golden Mile of motels from plain to fancy..The nicest was called the Sahara and it had this huge jet set modern dining room with a flying wing roof rising to a peak about 3 stories all glass, huge palm tree inside, beautiful. It opened around 1959 but by the early 80's the new 402 freeway was built connecting to the bridge and the I64 and the Golden mile was bypassed. not much left there anymore and the Saharas wonderful dinging room has been demolished.

OOPS! Sorry, the LL is/was on Hwy 61 or Airline Hwy. After the interstates came in, those neat motels went down the tubes. Some of it's there if you really look, but most is gone :=(

Cory where did you come across that little gem? Is that
Cad the same year as yours? Beautiful 1960 Ford in the fore ground and that looks like a Mercury on the other side of the Deville. I bet there are still some of the original fixtures
in that place if it's still standing; maybe you could harvest some for your new house.

Drove by this and many more on Airline computing from Metaire to downtown NOLA for work. Lived there for 15 years. Most if not all the motels were very run down after I-10 was built. We called it the no tell motel row in the 70's and 80's.

That is so sad......I had wondered if this place still existed, thanks Kevin for answering that question.
Yeah, the Cad on the front is a '60, they dropped the bullet lights and lowered the fins a tinge. And all that floor to ceiling glass, exposed beams and neon in the background makes my heart flutter.
I scored the brochure in a box of old road maps I picked up at an estate sale, amazing how there are people on the forum who have actually driven by it!
Thanks guys-
Cory
