Have you got a cross road on 78? How good of a pic do you need? I can go snap a pic on my phone if that helps. I don't have my camera with me, but I can get a pic with my camera if you can wait a few days

Here is the best I could do on google maps - I am not sure if the sign is there any more - I didn't see it in the auction pics.

No problem Joe. If the sign is still there, I'll get a few pics with my cell phone this morning and I can get some better pics Friday with my digital camera. I get off work in 4 hours so I'll post back here and let you know what I've found.

Any other pics from the area? Maybe the Rack sign or the Gentleman's Club?:grin::grin::grin:

Well... seeing that you're going in that direction, stop by Payne's and get me a slab of ribs and a tub of potato salad.

It's no longer called Motel 78, now it's the Real Value Inn. I swung by and snapped a few pics of the sign with my phone, but if you want good pics I can get some during the day with my camera on Friday. Just let me know
