From NJ.com: If you’re driving on Route 30 in Camden County just south of the New Jersey Turnpike, and you see a McDonald’s Hamburgers sign mounted on a golden arch, you might want to pull over, even if you’re not hungry.

From the Altoona Mirror: A Bedford County motor court has been selected to participate in USA Today’s 2020 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards in the roadside motel category. The Lincoln Motor Court is in fourth place as voting continues for the next 18 days.
Located along Lincoln Highway, the Lincoln Motor Court made a name for itself among travelers from abroad because it’s like taking a trip back in time, said co-owner Deborah “Debbie” Altizer. Debbie and her husband, Bob, purchased the motel in 1983 after a two-year search to purchase a business they could run in a more family-friendly area than in Washington, D.C. They raised two daughters there: Rachel Taylor of Windsor, Va., and Carissa Altizer, a librarian in Woodstock, Va.
