Ritz Motel

I'm getting a picture of old Davis Street between Westmoreland and Cockrell Hill Road; that it was a stretch of motels and restaurants back in the fifties, as well as housing the Chalk Hill Drive-In across the road from this motel.Wonder how many tourists passed along Highway 80 back in those days.
Today there's a white brick building at 3842 W. Davis that looks like it could have been a motel once upon a time, but if it's the same building it's devolved quite a bit.

This is now called the Texas Motel. It's the same building if you look at google maps. (same location, same shape, etc)
If you do the 3D map on google, you have to use 3842 Fort Worth Ave as the address and you can look around-kind of neat.
