Cotton Boll Motel iconic Neon sign stand alongside the Mother Road in Canute, another town bypassed by the Interstate, with dire consequences.
You never know, with the resurgence of Route 66 & its Neon's, someone may decide to refurbish the iconic Neon sign. I am sure there are Government grants available to the owner.
From USA Today:
"The Cotton Boll Motel's sign in Canute, Okla., is among the most-photographed along Route 66. The motel's owner, Pat Webb, checked into the 16-room building in the late 1990s and never left, turning a part of the place into his personal residence." Text Source: (

Blog:
"The Cotton Boll Motel now stands derelict, and hairy grass and weeds have strangled the flowers that once grew beneath the angular, red sign. The mechanical horses trotted to the dump years ago, and the red neon lights have fallen into a tangled bramble of glass tubes, while the sparkly, flashing rate sign has been boarded up."
