During
the early 2000s the Motor Lodge's classic A-Frame Gate Lodge
lost its orange roof and was rendered much less HoJo's looking.
Right:
One of the original footers could still be spotted behind
the wall-o'-stucco.
Below:
The original entrance was largely boxed over and a new one
was made where a large drive under canopy was added facing
Southern Blvd. |
