For years now my wife and I have had a love/hate relationship with the Astro Motel in Fresno, CA right off the 99 freeway. When I say love/hate I mean, we love to drive by it, but we would hate to stay at it. I always joke with my wife that one year for our anniversary we are going to stay there, I don't think she finds that very amusing. It is one of those hotels that people are always getting killed at in movies; it makes the Holiday Inn seem like the Ritz, not exactly a place you want to stay. However, while I was on the road trip this past week I took a picture of an old run down motel sign out in the middle of nowhere and it got me thinking about all of the cool motel signs I see every time I drive up and down the 99 between So-Cal and Nor-Cal.
So I thought I would do a little series on them. Hope you enjoy!

ok, so i've recently found your blog and i'm in love. i throughly enjoy your work, all of it! i have a passion for good photography, but i'm not very good at it. partly because i have no professional training, and partly because i have no professional equipment. i hear those are important. i do however live in fresno and enjoyed this series of motel shots. i wouldn't recommend the astro motel.
