Right. But when I found the picture it was posted with no identifying information. Someone must have lifted it from that blog and posted it online. If it said Ohio I probably would not have put it on the Eureka page.
There is a Home Depot on the adjacent property, which used to be a golf course. I imagine that most of the ramshackle motels on the Pike will be gone soon. Many of them have been closed and deteriorating for years.

A book called “Images of America, Irvington and Fremont, CA”. Page 66, at the bottom.
It wasn’t that source, as far as I recall. My source didn’t give a location, just the photo.
