Greenway Motel Sign

The Greenway Motel sign must have once been a shining beacon in the small town of Mitchell Illinois. It seems to have way oversold the nondescript mid century beige brick motor court style motel it proudly heralded.

The neon is now gone, but the epic arrow style sign remains, complete with (non working) light box that once highlighted the Motels Route 66 pedigree. We also love the tiny tacked on sign advising there are now telephones in every room.

It had the look of permanent residents living there when we passed by. Lucky them having such a glamorous gateway to their place of residence.
