New Jersey’s Deserted Mid-Century Motels, by Night


As the sun sets over southern New Jersey, the neon signs adorning the Wildwoods motels flicker into light. The motels, in all their over-the-top, brightly colored glory, have accommodated travelers since the 1950s. In their gleaming automobiles, tourists sped off the newly built Garden State Parkway to be welcomed by pools lined with plastic palm trees and car parks shaded with asymmetrical roofs.
