Carry Me Back to Ye Olde Virginnie

Olde_virginnie_2 It’s amazing what you can find on the Internet these days.  For those who teach the most famous contracts case in the history of the Old Dominion, Lucy v. Zehmer, here’s a blast from the past:  A postcard from Ye Olde Virginnie, “The One Stop Motel” in McKenney, Virginia.

The card isn’t dated, but probably comes from the early 1960s.  The back says, “Individual and Family-type rooms — Air conditioned — Steam Heat — Television — Restaurant — Service Station — Garage.”  The view appears to be from the south, coming up U.S. Highway 1 from Petersburg.
