The dirty windshield was a clever way to blend among your surroundings. You should look into getting a hood car just for these missions. A Nissan altima with 3 doughnut spares and mulit-colored body parts would do the trick.
man those little flower boxes really transformed the vibe of that motel, went from trashy motel to charming motel lol. just goes to show you how little changes really transform a place like that.
Shoutout to the Patels and the Executive Inn. They provided a safe place for me and my 4 kids to live for 3 years, until we could get out of Maryland and get home. Many low income motels provide safe havens for domestic abuse victims. It was back during the time you put out your "Crusty Pillows" video. My daughter and I passed you on the stairs. One of the cars in the back lot near the dead wing (which has since been removed) that you pointed out as being "old" was ours. Today we own our own home, no mortgage, and we live like normal people. We do still have the car. The boys (now men) rebuilt the engine and transmission.
I used to live at the infamous Spenard Motel in Anchorage. One night a man rented a room below me, opened the back window and started slamming a pipe on the sill, screaming "CRACK WH*RES!" He was calling for them. And indeed they did arrive. As did APD a few hours later. The cycle of life.
