I saw this amazing marquee sign as we tripped along Historic Route 66.
I took some photos, had a quick look around, saw the vacancy sign, neat mowed lawns, clean brightly painted sign, with intact Neon tubes, & assumed, it was an active Motel.
But I am not sure if its active, as I can not find any internet presence, other than photos of the Neon marquee.

From the Roadside Architecture Website:
"The Ranger Motel sign is probably from the 1950s or 1960s. Vintage photos show that this sign has always been a combination of plastic and neon. However, there were two other neon signs which preceded it."
