Perhaps you have a similar themed motel near you. Or maybe you stayed in one when you were travelling to visit relatives, or maybe you just drove past one once and thought i really must stay there sometime

The Wigwam Motel in Rialto, CA off of Foothill Blvd. Is about 10 miles from me. Before they recently renovated it and made it family-friendly again, it was somewhat of a no-tell motel. The sign out front used to say "DO IT IN A TEE PEE." Now it reads: "Have you slept in a teepee lately?" It was cooler when it was sleazy and decrepit.

What do the insides of these places look like?

That's something you have to find out first-hand.

Sounds like an experience that would be in tents!

That is literally the funniest thing I've ever read on ILX, ancient or not.

Did Indians really say "how" as a greeting?
