Going on vacation without a hotel booked and just hoping you find a good place when you get there, something my parents did for almost every vacation when I was a kid, now seems like an absolute nightmare. I can’t imagine driving that long and THEN having to make the most important financial decision of the trip!
Yeah, but it was weird cable. You could find local channels mixed in, and you got local commercials for places you’d probably never see again.
It always felt like going to a neighbouring country, to my little kid brain. Things looked familiar enough, but with a different name. There were places I recognized, but surrounded by things I didn’t.
Seeing motel signs with “Free HBO” and “A.C.” on them was such a marketing thing for them in the 80s/90s.
I remember road trips with my parents and just hoping the hotel they pick had cable… even though we had cable at home.
