Tired of the same ole hotel experience? Looking for some spice and adventure during your next roadtrip? Man oh man, have I got a list for you. I’ve put together a list of eclectic and creative accommodations. Not all states accommodate equally, so I’ve included a super helpful interactive map below. There has been a big boom in old roadside motel renovations. I’m a sucker for a redemption story, so you’ll see quite a few of them down there. It doesn’t hurt that they all have their own funky feel, sometimes a reflection of the local culture or history, sometimes a reflection of the owner’s themselves. Hope this helps get you out there exploring!

Book Review: A History of Chesapeake, Virginia (Definitive History) by Raymond L. Harper
A History of Chesapeake, Virginia (Definitive History) by Raymond L. Harper This summer I ended up spending time beside the Dismal Swamp Canal. I grew up with one of its many fingers stretching behind our neighbor’s house. I’ve kayaked and canoed down its waters, passed over via car on a small two lane bridge, and…
