Kings Hwy Motel RIP [Explored] - a photo on Flickriver

            I drove by the old Kings Hwy Motel on El Camino Real in Santa Clara the other day. It’s gone. It’s been closed for several years, and the last I saw the property had been fenced off, so it’s destruction was inevitable. I hope somebody saved the sign.

I have posted some photos from this motel in the past, which I will link to in the comments.

Taken with an iPhone 4. Background texture added in Photoshop.
