 Texarkana-Interstate, Arkansas
(AKA Texarkana, Texas)

 Captured in photographs recently by Scott Greer, this Summer of 1969 Motor Lodge was the second to open in the Texarkana area shortly after Interstate 30 was completed.

Now as a Best Western, Mr. Greer notes that "it's near original inside, with wallpaper covering the original paneling" (in the guest rooms!). Unfortunately he went on to add that "the lobby was a 70's nightmare."
 
 
 

 Scott reports that this is a loading dock between the two guest wings. Note the original HJ round lights on either side of the maroon doors.
