Signs on stamps; what's not to like.
As part of the centenary celebrations for Route 66 the United States Postal Service is issuing this series of stamps that prominantly feature neon and motel signs.
I'd love to know if this is a first, or if signs on stamps have been done before?

Lodging to Affordable Living 🏡: Motel Conversions in the Four Corners Region
The following working list identifies those motels and hotels that have been converted into dwellings for the unhoused, those with special needs, and/or to provide affordable housing options in cities across the Four Corners Region of the southwestern United States (the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). These housing options may include, but not be limited to:
- Income-based housing;
- Section 8 housing;
- Housing for those with special needs
- Housing for needy seniors;
- Housing for young adults and/or women;
- Housing for those returning to society from recovery programs or incarceration;
- Inexpensive housing/studios for artists;
- Veterans housing; as well as
- Transitional/interim housing for unhoused individuals or families.
Motel conversions provide another tool for municipalities for combating homelessness, gentrification, and rising housing costs. It also helps revitalize and reinvigorate older highway commercial districts such as Historic U.S. 66 in New Mexico and Arizona or Old U.S. 40 in Colorado. In some cases, such a conversion from lodging to affordable living quarters may require amendments to local zoning codes to allow such housing options in commercial zoning districts.
Peace!

Twelve pet peeves about modern hotels
Listed below are this author’s 12 pet peeves about staying in modern hotels. If there are others that readers of this blog wish to send along, please feel free to do so. The peeves are not listed in order of importance and this author is sure there are many more peeves that could be added. Peace!
Source” clipartpanda.com——-
- Why are there so many darn gadgets with glow-in-the-dark digital lighting that cast unwanted light across the room like the Vegas Strip at night?
- Must 90% of all continental breakfasts be composed of solely carbs and sugar?
- Please let the customer control the heating and air conditioning, instead of being subjected to preset temps in the room that arc back and forth between North Pole and Death Valley.
- Why does a pet cost nearly as much per night as a person? And, what the hell is it with $75 for the first three nights, even if you only stay for one, at certain hotel brands. If you don’t want pets, just say so.
- Funny how in the archaic days of pre-internet you could cancel reservations over the phone by 6:00 pm on the day of arrival and not be charged. But now, in the high speed digital age, many places require 48 hours notice or more! So, it now takes two days for a cancellation to reach its destination where before it took mere seconds by phone? Can you say “rip-off?”
- Why can’t night shade curtains be made that actually extend past the middle of the window so that damn beacon in the parking lot doesn’t shine through right where your face is on the pillow?
- My kingdom for a mini-fridge that doesn’t turn everything into a glacier overnight!
- Exactly how many documents does one have to sign to check in to a hotel for that breathtaking cubicle overlooking the truck stop?
- Why are breakfast areas always jammed packed with travel soccer teams or families heading to Disney World right when we come down to eat?
- Ever notice how brand new hotels, especially along highways, are awesome at first, but each subsequent visit they seem to be gradually losing their luster to the point that within a few years they seem to be falling apart? Are we that disposable of a society?
- Does anyone offer decaffeinated coffee anymore?
- Why do hotel showers always have a sweet spot on the handle that instantly switches between hell-fire and deep freeze?

An iconic Route 66 roadside respite
We had the opportunity to stay at one of America’s most iconic roadside motels — the Wigwam Motel Village located along Old Route 66 in Holbrook, Arizona.
Front officeWhile not necessarily a politically correct name/theme in the present day (they are technically tepees for example), this quaint motel exudes tons of Mid-Century modern cuteness and charm with a hefty touch of Southwestern flare. Adding even more pizazz is the collection of antique automobiles and small trucks parked throughout the site.
A small museum of the motel’s storied history and of the surrounding region is located in the back portion of the front office.
If you are ever passing through Holbrook from https://www.nps.gov/pefo/index.htm or by the town on Interstate 40, consider taking a few minutes to see and admire this historic roadside attraction that’s been successfully operating for three-quarters of a century.
Peace!

I didn't see the ocean for the first time until I was a teenager, and I thought Atlantic City's "Shore Point Inn" the most exciting motel in the world. 1960s. #atlanticocean #atlantic #ocean #atlanticcity #1960s #motel #motels #vacation #tallcedarsconvention #tallcedars

I'm a big fan of #SchittsCreek, so #Motels don't scare me, especially when they are retro restored as nicely as the #SapphireMotel in #Bozeman #Montana. We loved our stay here earlier this week. Close to everything, rotary dial phone and AC in every well appointed room. Sleep just steps from your car!

1994: End of the line for the Sunspot Motel, Pacific Coast Highway, on the border of Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades. A victim of a hillside collapse, the motel was at one time the fabulous Carl’s Sea Air Motor Apartments.
