Jarratt VA lost in the woods
Any weary traveler along 301 was greeted by the glow of dozens of neon signs at the postwar Jarratt VA motel & restaurant complex well into the 70's as I-95 in this area was one of the last sections to be completed. You could still see the neon for a while until the forest & new exits slowly diminished its view, and after it finally called it quits the complex itself was retaken by nature. Finally detouring and venturing in 30 yrs. after I first saw the glow, much of the signage was still in there.
