Travel lodge, note the rocketship, that's still there today!

Travelodge, 1500 North 6th Street, Vandalia, Illinois. U. S. 40/Illinois State Route 185 are seen in the lower right corner. Notice the Jct. U. S. 51 sign. The 'mini' St. Louis Arch remains, while the rocketship and pool are long gone. View looks south.
