Do Not Gaze at This Lest You be Hypnotized

Ramada Inn
Greensboro, NC
1970's

I've been featuring guest rooms on this blog, but for a change of pace, let's show a motel lobby. As you can see from the postcard above, lobbies weren't safe from  wild decorating tastes of the era. Judging from the ubiquitous use of reds in carpets and walls, red seemed to be a very popular color, at least for motels and hotels, in 1970's.Ditto for wacky wallpaper -- can you gaze at these upper-level panels of burgundy-gold wallpaper without getting hypnotized yourself?

Note: if you are interested in buying this card, it is available for sale on Playle's site.
