The little Henning Motel is next door to the Bagdad Cafe and was also featured in the 1987 movie "Bagdad Cafe" starring Starring Marianne Sägebrecht, CCH Pounder and Jack Palance. The building was in pretty rough shape when we took these photos.

x It'd be cool to see this old neon sign lit up again. That might be asking a lot though. The small section at the bottom said "Henning" and below that "Free TV"

x The motel sign was still standing in the spring of 2015, even after all that was left of the motel was a concrete slab. Toward the end of its useful life it was more of an apartment building than a motel.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
