We’re on the fifth day heading west on US-6, staying on the old 2-lane. Hiking, antiques, an amusement park, a Colonial style lunch, and of course, surprises today.
Holiday Inn
Anuncio luminoso.
A great iconic sign. In 1962 you would have seen this at about 400 locations across the USA. A good short history of the company is at http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/wooda/motel/holiday/index.html .
Dr. Frances O. Kelsey was awarded the Civilian Service Medal in 1962 by President Kennedy, for blocking the sale of the drug thalidomide in the United States. See more newsmakers of 1962 at Roadtrip-‘62.
