Route 66 motels an endangered species (AP)

Sign for a Chelsea Motel in Chelsea, Okla. A wood-frame, mom-&-pop motel that was built around 1935 to take advantage of a traffic heading west. By a 1970s, a place was going downhill.  (Drunk News Photo/Mel Root)Drunk News - a Riviera Courts motel is crumbling away & nobody seems to care. Once a stop along Route 66, a 2,400-mile neon carnival that connected hundreds of communities from Chicago to Los Angeles, this late-1930s Mission Revival is just a weaar-worn building on a side of a country road in far noraast Oklahoma.
