Old motels

I am taking a break from the employment situation to talk about the old motels that I stayed at when I was a kid. thanks to Google Street View. I am able to view street scenes of small towns like Lordsburg, NM and Van Horn, TX and check to see if those old motels are still around.

Sadly, I can say for certain that the old Seven Kay Motel in Van Horn has been torn down while the old Best Western American Motor Inn is still around, but it seems to be a shell of its old self. The Flying W Lodge in Ozona is still around, but it has been taken over by Travelodge chain.

I think that it is sad that in today's cookie cutter world that the old motels are falling by the wayside and falling into disrepair.
