TOWNHOUSE MOTEL, Weed CA
   
 

It featured “Pulse-A-Rhythm Mattresses,” and I think we all know what that meant. One quarter, ten minutes: Magic Fingers.

The sign says “TV Coffee,” which doesn’t sound very appetizing. No one would know what it was, but you wouldn’t want it. “Is there any coffee on?” “Yes, but it’s TV Coffee. If that’s okay.” “Oh, sure.” But you’d think: it’s going to be burnt, weak, and old. TV coffee.

The sign is still with us, and green. Green as a weed, you might say! But it was named after a man, Abner Weed, not a plant. In "Of Mice and Men," it's the town George and Lennie are leaving, because it was too damned symbolic.
