This motel is for the birds 🐦🐦

I've driven by this sign a few times now and it has always caught my eye. It's one of the tallest signs in the area with one simple word "MOTEL". The bold, all-caps white letters on the solid red background make a simple phrase, but it stands out. So, I decided to pull over and capture it.

I think I am going to make this available as a print. What do you think?

Oh, and by the way, Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️

Pink Motel in Cherokee, North Carolina (2018) 🎀🧚‍♀️

Pink Motel, located on the Cherokee reservation, opened in 1953 . 💖 Lois Queen Farthing originally owned/operated the motel and gave it a pink theme. 🌸 The fairy on the motel sign was inspired by Tinkerbell because she was her daughter Lyna’s favorite character. ✨

Found in the wild today

The Blockbuster closed years ago, but the stripmall never paid to take the sign down, they just hung a banner over it. They're finally removing it, and I'm thinking of calling the property manager to see if I can take it off their hands. It has a big hole in it and I doubt the remnants of Blockbuster corporate wants it back considering its been derelict for over a decade, so the stripmall is probably just gonna throw it away. I figure it's worth a shot. I'd even be willing to pay for it (up to a point)

Wish me luck!
