It's all coming back to me, now! Funny how I forgot that, but remember other places with no problem. Selective memory, perhaps? That's the Commercial Distribution Center sign at the top of the hill that I saw in your earlier photo, but couldn't make out what it said. I always hated turning off southbound 291 onto Peck. Someone was always riding my tail as I slowed down. Sure glad all that's changed now.

What is really bad, Silver Doc, is to remember things that happened years and years ago but don't recall something that happened last year, or worse yet, last month.

That's very true! Sometimes just recalling yesterday can be a challenge!

I have/had a photo that I took of just the sign. That was the only thing left of the motel at the time. Luckily, I ran across this postcard.

I recall coming back in 2006, I think, and there was short time place "down off" of 40 highway in that area. It is gone now, I think.
