Other country's takes on American food are always absolutely hilarious and nothing we would ever eat here. edit: Well ok, nothing we thought of yet.

I'd love to find some other abundant sources of amateur photography. Google Maps Reviews are a deep well, but there's whole areas of content (hunting/fishing stuff, house parties, etc) that would own.

I like how even when they were brand fuckin' new they looked entirely vacant and unwanted.

I'm guessing the easy answer is "yea, of course" but were these just insanely popular mob money laundering operations? They still exist and function (weirdly, and sadly) in odd locations I cannot figure out how. I worked the desk of a 'real' mainstream hotel for years when I was younger and even that was a crap-shoot at staying above water. How these things existed/exist or get people staying in them is shocking to the point of absurdity, even in an era where they were more culturally relevant.

e: like just on the surface, think about it, you're buying prime real estate to build a 13-25 room 'motel' that will need 24 hour staffing by, say, a team of 6-8 desk workers, 2-5 cleaners, you've got that pool, which upkeep alone is going to cost a ton, plus at least 1-3 maintenance people to care/watch/clean just IT at any given time, plus, let's just say an accountant and one other 'resource' person, at a minimum you're looking at a staff of a dozen people to take care of that place as a ghost ship crew, and even at minimal wages, how many room-nights do you think you'd need to book a year to pay their salaries, plus your investment in the property, etc. with, say 15-20 rooms, max a night, to sell, if that?

A large amount of these small hotels were bought by immigrants families. Most of them use the family or the family connections to staff the hotel. The cleaning is probably down under the table by other immigrants.

Back in the day they were probably alright to stay in for a family driving around. They had a pool and were near the highways and people were driving everywhere.

I did a zillow search on some remote rear end cabins in some stupid state, found one on this island with no roads and the interior was PINK PINK PINK. kind of blew my mind, I'm certain I couldn't find it again if I tried, but it was very special.

It's a very good photo is all. I had the same reaction as you. It's got a wonderful color palate (for lack of a better description, I'm not sure how this would be more accurately and technically referred to) and the composition is good. It looks like a professional photo but was most likely taken by an everyday person. Plus it stands out because most of the content in here is just poorly taken photos of gross weird poo poo.


This is also a really good photo for similar reasons. The lighting is gorgeous. It looks like a Nicolas Winding Refn movie.
