Even though most of us travel by RV these days, many of us, me included, once stayed in motels. Nowadays, you hardly ever find a "motel." Instead, they're hotels, inns, lodges, and even motor hotels and motor lodges. Anything but "motel" (Motel 6 the exception). This week's postcard typifies the motel design of three or four decades ago -- one level, pool in the middle, and female guest ever so proper with her bathing cap. This postcard is of the Sacramento Motel in North Sacramento, Calif.
