The Town View Motor Lodge sign features a nice mix of fonts. The Savoy Motor Lodge was demolished at the end of 2007 after a fire. As of 2008, this sign remained on the vacant lot behind chain link fencing. I don't know if it's staying or endangered. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. Harry's Business Machines opened in Reno in 1928 as Harry's Typewriter Shop. It moved to this location in 1949. For more, see their website. |

The Mardi Gras Motor Lodge was originally known as the Mardi Gras Motel. The festive sign includes plastic balls, a sputnik, and a pierced bowtie shape. I'd like to know if parts of this sign ever revolved. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
I believe the City Center Motel sign is at least partially lit at night. The Reno Royal Motor Lodge sign is lit at night. For more, see this website. This unidentified motel is next door to the Reno Royal Motor Lodge. They share a parking lot but I don't believe they are the same motel. |

The Fireside Inn features this neon flame above their plastic box sign. The Morris Hotel might be used as apartments now. For more, see this website. I'd love to know the inspiration for Time Zone Motel's name. |
