Zippy discusses with his friend Claude, why everything is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, forever. This is the way Zippy would like things, but as Claude points out "Life ain't an online catalog, pardner… and it doesn't always offer same-day DHL delivery."
Mecca Motel is located on the west side of Colorado Springs, at the corner of U.S. Highway 24 Business (Colorado Avenue) and Ridge Road. It is situated only minutes from the Garden of the Gods Park, downtown Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs Colorado. It appears to be in good operating condition.
The Mecca Motel can also be seen in Google Street View.
