Several days ago I took my Maxxum 9 out on the Route to fish up a roll of the new Kodak Ektar 100 slide film. I stopped and took a few shots of the Brookshire Motel at 11th and Garnett. I now regret not getting more slide photos of this iconic Tulsa Route 66 structure. Last evening I watched the news and learned that the motel, sadly, burned. I watched Rhys Martin speak with the local news crew regarding its pending restoration before this sad event. He looked as disappointed as I felt. I have memories of renting a room there in high school, as well as talking to the owners in the mid 2000’s. Very sad.
