Galaxy Motel

In the 1950s, as automobile travelers hit the road in search of adventure, they discovered enormous fedora-wearing gophers, the world’s largest donut and other roadside attractions along the way. For some folks, the most extraordinary stop of them all was the Galaxy Motel. Through the years, the Galaxy Motel has witnessed the growing pains and culture shifts of a restless America pass through its doors. In their own distinct voice, with humor and compassion, three managers recount the story of their most memorable guest: a teenage girl in the 50s, a runaway musician in the 60s, and a drug addict with a penchant for redecorating in the 2000s. Through their stories, we may be reminded of our own moments, when we discovered something within ourselves while out on the road, in the company of strangers.
