Waking Up in a Wigwam

I finally made it to Route 66! Can anyone guess which motel I’m staying in tonight?

So instead of sleeping, which is what I really want to do right now, I’m perusing Holbrook City Laws to see if there is an ordinance against walking the morning streets in pajamas and slippers to get coffee.
