SIESTA MOTEL, Nevada IA
   

 

 

 


"Good food near-by."

I truncated the card a bit to highlight its virtues: the sign and the Fun Chair Area. I can't find any contemporary views, since the place seems to have gone the way of so many motels. The card said it was on the west end of town on Highway 30, but the streetlight suggests indicate it lived in the town boundaries.

Motel owners had a choice for postcards: show them with customers whose cars would date the picture, or show them empty, as if a plague had overtaken the town.
