February 1964
Is it me, or does this logo closely resemble the old MOTEL 6 insignia?
"We'll leave the butter out for you" |
Now, THAT'S the kind of sign we were talking about back in 1954!
 |
You realize, of course, that author "Theo LeSieg" was Dr. Seuss's real name, Theodore Geisl, spelled backward. |
Just give it 50 more years,
Mr. Brooks. |
(RIGHT) 50 years and two names later, this nice-looking structure is still in the family.

 I'll ask again: does anybody have a picture of that huge old sign
the St. Francis had in the '60s and '70s?
We
told you they wouldn't last long ... less than a year, in fact,
since
opening in April 1963. Now, watch for Kmart to appear
in this
space soon.
It must have been a sad event in downtown Memphis's history, though.
 Our friend George seems to be two-timing on downtown.
