Back then futurism was all the rage, it was THE thing! It's where atompunk came from. The real retrofuturism is based in the 50's, not the 80's. Is it irony? I look at these and think we moved too fast..... 🥺

Back when motels had style, even the no-tell ones.

We drove from Philly to Florida every summer to visit family. 1950s and 60s. I loved the motels... so many to choose from. Look Mom, that one's AAA, that one has a pool, a TV! Those little bars of soap and glasses wrapped in waxed paper. And the motel restaurant serving fried chicken and french fries. I nearly died with happiness.

In the 60's my parents would take us the sea shore. Those motels were so beautiful. Almost all gone now, replaced by muti storied monstrosidies. A step backwards for sure.

Nothing beat a nice motel along the Great Lakes in the span of 1955-1970. Michigan still had a wonderful aura to it and the summer months for traveling and exploring were never boring.

My family traveled the western states extensively in the 50's, 60', and 70's. Things were changing a bit in the 80's. I remember the mom and pop run motels - the big name motels were not a part of our travels. We didn't have the money. I do remember all the times we had to slow down or wait while the interstates were being built. The men who worked the interstate building always looked worn out and hot. What memories. Thank You.

Learned to swim at the Springfield, MO Mt. Vernon Lodge in summer of 1960. Saw an old guy with a footlong combover swimming there. Freaked me out.

Back during that brief bubble in time (from the 1950s to the 1980s) where you didn't have to worry about bedbugs or cockroaches in most motels. (Thanks to the massive use of DDT in the 1940s/50s) Cheap international travel soon put an end to that.

Early 20's in the late 1970's meant ROAD TRIP! Base was Omaha, Nebraska. Drove as far NW to Sidney, British Columbia (with the old Falcon on a ferry and where it broke down on a holiday weekend and needing to ask his parents to wire money) and as far SE as Bahia Honda in the Florida keys. We camped in a small tent. Motels with warm showers were an absolute luxury! Sure do miss those road-trippin' times, sigh.
