Heather David – Motel California: The “Motel” Celebrates 100 Years!

2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the WORLD’S FIRST MOTEL. Please join Heather David, author of Motel California as we take a virtual road trip and celebrate sparkling blue pools, flashing neon signs, automatic ice machines, and bleached white towels. We’ll travel from the Old West to Outer Space, discover the “tingling relaxation and ease” of vibrating beds, and revisit the thrill of the pool slide. Let’s explore the beginnings of the American Motel, its rapid rise in popularity, subsequent decline, and recent resurrection.
