Try James Lileks' website at http://www.lileks.com/motels/index.html. All kinds of nostalgia stuff!

Along the same lines is a photo book by Troy Paiva called "Lost America"

I found this book one evening when I was searching online for the Lenwood Drive in (outside Barstow on Rt 66).
That screen on the cover is the Lenwood Drive In circa 1997, it's completely gone now.
This is the Theater I went to as a child in the 60's, you could see the screen from our front door about a mile away!
