Ode to Route 66

Tales of a No-Tell Motel

The Coral Court motel had a seamy reputation as a place for illicit trysts and one-night stands--each unit had a garage where vehicles could be hidden from prying eyes. It was built in 1941 and finally razed in 1995, though a segment survives in St. Louis' Museum of Transportation.
