Space Chic Honeymoon Suite

South of the Border Motel
3346 U.S. 301
Hamer, SC 29547
1970's or 1980's

This is one of the honeymoon suites at the motel at the iconic mother-of-roadside-attractions known as South of the Border. (If you are unfamiliar with this place, go here and be prepared to be entertained -- or be disdained, depending on your taste.)

Check out the Sixties-que white dome lurking above this bed, complete with panels of mirrors and a red padded backrest that looked like it once lived in a nightclub from the 1950's. I'll let the description on the back of the postcard speak for itself:

HONEYMOON HEAVEN! One of pedro's 20 fabulous Honeymoon Suites, with the custom built "Everything" bed. TV, Radio, Cassettes, Mirrors, all in the headboard! You may never want to get out of the bed! At South of the Border Motel.

 Unfortunately, it's my understanding that the suites have been renovated since then, and that these beds are no longer there.
