boidi or bass's motel - a photo on Flickriver

            Route/US 1
Baileyville, Maine

Boy, did I have a time trying to figure out both the actual name of this motel, and where we were when I photographed it!

At the time, I took a picture of the front sign so I would know the motel's name. Good enough, right? Nope! Even though I have a photograph of the sign indicating this was "Bass's Motel", I could find nothing on the internet about it. Nada. I ended up pinpointing where a previous photo was taken, then brought up google streetview and went along US 1 until I FINALLY found this motel, which gave me the name of the town. One problem solved. Clicking on a date in google streetview several years ago, a view popped up with a motel sign that read "Boidi Motel". Aha! I googled that, and up popped some (old) information. That doesn't help me know what the motel is called right now of course, but I know it was Boidi and then became Bass's. Maybe not for very long lol
