Motel Monday: A Dozen Roses For the Rose City

This week's Motel Monday highlights the motels of beautiful Portland, Oregon. I lived in Portland from 2004-2007 and miss it dearly. Most of these motels were long gone by the time I lived there. There is quite a variety of styles here. My favorites are at the beginning including the fabulous Crown Motel sign. You can read all about the Mid-Century Modern League of Portland trying to save the Crown sign here. All of these motels are located right in or around Portland.
You can learn all about all 12 by clicking on the images which will take you to my flickr account. That will have all of the information about each motel as written on the backs of each card.
