SUBJECT: Terrace Motel Sign
It is dark now when we drive home from cheerleading practice. On the way, we pass the Terrace Motel & Apartments. It has a great vintage neon sign. As I wasn’t happy with the cloud pictures I took earlier in the day, I stopped and snapped some of the glowing neon. The word “M-O-T-E-L” is stacked vertically to the left with a star at the top above the “M”, unfortunately, that portion of the neon is not lit.
Cool photo! So, is that what he said in that movie? I don't recall ever having seen the entire film...
