Another day.... coffee, please.
Those motel pix remind me of my childhood. Trips with my parents. Staying in motels where you drove right up to your room.
They had room keys like this

This triggered a memory I had long forgotten.
Back in early 80s a band I was with wound up in LA.
We had all heard wild stories about the famous "Riot/Hyatt House" on Sunset Blvd and so we stayed there for a couple nights. It was pretty laid back and nothing crazy was happening while we were there.
But I stole the keytag for my room. I turned in the key at the desk and told them the tag broke or something when we checked out.
Years later, I was read in a book somewhere that allegedly it was the exact room I had stayed in 1015, that Keith Richards and Bobby Keyes had tossed a TV set from the balcony years before. If only I had known I would have swiped more stuff from the room...LOL.
