Sun Valley Motel sign, Alameda Street, Route 90, El Paso, Texas (LOC)

That's an amusing misspelling of bienvenidos on the sign. I looked for this place on Google street view to see if the sign might still be there. The motel is still there. But this sign is gone. FYI, the motel is at 7229 Alameda Avenue rather than Alameda Street. Also, the highway route number is currently designated as 20, not 90.

Thanks for pointing out interesting details and the correct address. We'll adjust information at our end.

"The pitahaya or giant cactus (Cactus gianteus) is the characteristic plant of the Arizona and New Mexican wastes even more than it is of the Mexican plateau. Colossal wax cactuses from 35 to 50 feet high, stand out as solitary sentinels on…" This is of a Saguaro Cactus (Cactus gianteus), a Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) and a Native American sitting at it's base.
