wow. so this is where vampires spend their winters. i didn’t know you were visiting the “30 days of night” set.
Maybe it used to be the the Breezewood Detention Center at one time…
I don’t think the Breezewood tourism board is gonna be hiring you :-).
Place reminds me of a couple of motels I stayed at, one outside of Cheyenne and another at some New Zealand railhead. The kind of accommodation you find in places where the clientele is all truckers or itinerant workers, and zero tourists, is quite different than the Marriott or even Motel 6…
….You’re travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s the signpost up ahead – your next stop, the Breezewood Motel!…
That ladder must lead to the ‘economy’ rooms.
Having driven through many times, I think these pics capture Breezewood perfectly.
So far, what I’ve learned from this photo series is I do not want to visit Breezewood, Pennsylvania.
I don’t think anyone actually “visits” Breezewood, at least on purpose. It’s merely a forced interstate exit between I-70 and the PA Turnpike.
Heh..with the ladder over there on the left, this pic looks like a screencap of some counter-strike map. What room are the hosties in? cs_breezewood!
Where is Breezewood? Freakin’ Siberia? That place looks like a Gulag.
Radley needs a pay raise, so he can afford to stay at a more upscale hotel. One with, say, windows and shit.
Thanks for the photo, Radley. I grew up near Dayton, OH and my grandparents lived near Lebanon, PA – we used to travel through Breezewood a couple of times a year. It was one of the landmarks on the trip for me. I remember that motel when it was bright and vibrant, before the chain motels and restaurants essentially took over the world.
I have never seen one of Radley’s pictures get so much attention. I guess we’re so desperate for some blog action, we’ll comment on anything, even if it is just another picture of fucking Breezewood. Damn.
Just realized that Radley was probably just a couple of rooms away. I stopped there on my way home from my sister’s place in Maryland. That hotel is one of the few places where they won’t tie up alot of money in your checking account when you use a debit card to cover incidentals.
Hmmm…
If you elect me as your president, I pledge that ALL Americans will live in a luxurious domicile such as this, free of charge. The tents will be a thing of the past.
In addition, you will no longer have to walk to the labor camps; roller skates/ski’s will be provided at a reduced price if you comply…er…qualify.
And finally, I promise to increase the value of your labor script…er… money by 10 percent. That means your money will be worth 10 times as much!
Vote for me or you’ll be sorry, real fucking sorry.
-any presidential candidate, 2019

Dave,
I agree he should stay in a hotel with windows, but personally, I don’t like shit in my hotel room. It smells bad, and may carry E. Coli bacteria.
This thread is starting to resemble the picture…
‘breezewood’ sounds like a bad porn/horror flick name…
Charming abode.
Hopefully, the interior is more welcoming than the exterior.
If you have seen the post-apocalyptic film, “The Road”, these images shouldn’t be unfamiliar. Most of the film was shot in the woods around Pittsburgh, PA.
So? It’s the backside of a motel. They mostly look like that.
Just found this place on Google maps’ street view, and damn…it’s even less hospitable-looking in the summertime. There are motels in Silent Hill that I would rather check into.
Hope your New Year’s Eve is rockin’, Radley. Or at least less suckin’ than your Christmas Eve was.
Please tell me you climbed that ladder and got a few pics from the roof or ‘ruff’ as I understand they pronounce it up there.
I’m missing my daily dose of Radley!
“Please tell me you climbed that ladder and got a few pics from the roof or ‘ruff’ as I understand they pronounce it up there.”
Dude! They don’t like it when you climb on top of the Gulag! They’ll catch you and sent you somewhere worse… like Detroit.
Breezewood is the real life Mos Eisley.
For all you that don’t know any better, the Breezewood Motel is a nice little mom and pop locally owned motel. I have actually stayed there once back in my truck driving days.
