Relic Signs: Thunderbird Inn (1964) – Savannah, Georgia
Thunderbird Inn (1964). 611 West Oglethorpe Avenue, Savannah, Georgia.1 I took a midnight Greyhound from Savannah to Atlanta once — never again.
The only good thing about hanging out at Savannah’s bus station was that I got this shot of the sign for Thunderbird Inn across the street.
The landmark neon sign on Oglethorpe Avenue dates to the motel’s opening in 1964 and has been remarkably well-preserved.
While not nearly as old as most of Savannah’s historic structures, it’s a unique and colorful component of the city’s fabric.
