Merch Motel

“Merch Motel was created by Barkev, who I've followed on Instagram for a while, and has become a very popular online figure documenting the disappearing historical architecture around LA & surrounding cities. Via their website: "Merch Motel also works with preservationists, museums, and historic businesses to highlight these wonderful places." Sometimes they host events and special tours of places that are usually closed off to the public.”

“if you don’t already follow merch motel and you’re into vintage signage, kitsch, historic architecture, neon etc you must !!! he highlights cool spots that all seem to be stuck in time in the best way & he announces when beloved spots are closing or changing, too 😢 (RIP taix)”
