...the rest of the Restwell has been gone for more than a decade, but the sign goes on. Originally the Restwell Motor Court was a going concern on old Highway 40 ( now it's named just 4th Street, in Reno ) during the 1930's to the 1950's. Highway 40 was the major East-West thoroughfare in Nevada, as part of the Lincoln Highway system that crossed the US...only a few of the buildings that did business in Reno on hwy 40 in the 50's are still with us...Interstate 80 took away all the travelers as well as their dollars.
Wish I'd taken a picture of the old house that had the motel office in it. Now the whole thing is gone.

I've always loved this sign since I first saw it via as someone else's photo (perhaps Alan C's). I had no idea it was here until I happened upon it. What a happy moment!
It's not all that big, and it's low enough to the ground that you can reach up and touch it (well, at least I can), but it's a knockout in my book.
Also lucky for me was the time of day, as the neon tube shadows on the sign's face were a bonus.
UPDATE: The motel was demolished, sign removed some time around 2016.

I love LOVE stories of the French Resistance and Nancy Wake was such a huge part of it. Rest well, Madame Wake. "La France n’est pas seule!" "The flame of the French resistance, must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished". Oh..and if you haven't seen the movie "Charlotte Gray" you must see it, what a great movie.
WWII spy heroine who inspired Charlotte Gray movie dies aged 98… and her only regret was ‘not killing more Germans’

A fearless World War II spy and journalist who interviewed Hitler and became one of the most decorated women in the armed forces has died.
Nancy Wake, who went from being a nurse in Australia to become a leading figure in the French Resistance, nicknamed the White Mouse, during the Second World War, died aged 98 on August 7 at Kingston Hospital.
She had lived at the Royal Star and Garter Home for ex-servicemen and women in Richmond Hill since 2003.
Born in New Zealand, Mrs Wake grew up in Australia and worked as a nurse before persuing a passion for journalism.It was an interview with new German chancellor Adolf Hitler in 1933 that inspired her to fight against his persecution of Jews.
Mrs Wake married a rich businessman from Marseille and, when France fell to the invading Germans, helped Allied soldiers and airmen cross the border to make their way home via Spain.
By D-Day she was leading 7,000 resistance fighters in the fight against occupying forces.
It is said that author Sebastian Faulks wrote Charlotte Gray with Nancy Wake’s character inspiring the eponymous heroine.
Mrs Wake had been trained in Morse code, surveillance and survival skills and once killed a German guard with her bare hands. Of the enemy, she once said: “I have only one thing to say: I killed a lot of Germans, and I am only sorry I didn’t kill more.”
The Gestapo had nicknamed her the White Mouse, due to her elusiveness, and had put her on their most wanted list, with a five million franc price on her head.
Wake was awarded medals for her extraordinary bravery: the French Legion D’Honneur, the British George Medal, the US Medal of Freedom, and in 2004, she was made Companion of the Order of Australia.
At The Royal Star and Garter home for ex-soldiers and airmen, Prince Charles had given her a plasma television and DVD player on which she would watch classic films such as Gone With The Wind.
Sue Harley, from the Royal Star and Garter, said “she was a very private person” and added “she loved the music club which was on every Tuesday night”.
Wake has requested that her ashes be scattered in central France.

I stopped and shot a photo of this cool old neon sign as I drove by the hotel.
Look, it has air conditioning! And TV!
Restwell Court, 2525 E. 4th Street, Reno, Nevada. This old motel sign is all that remains of the place. It sits by the street with a chain link fence behind it. I found on the web that there was a fire here in 1979...I wonder if the motel was torn down after that.

Toby is an excellent photographer, so don't be misled by this picture she took years and years ago. She was using my camera--which was not a great camera--and I was probably rushing her. In fact, it looks kinda like it was taken from the window of a moving car.
