TIP TOP MOTOR HOTEL, Rapid City SD
   

 

 

 

My favorite find from the most recent postcard show, just because it's so unnecessary.

Demolished in 2004. It wasn't as cool as it looked, if you trust this image. Located at 405 St. Joseph.

You find nothing about it on the internet until you search for "demolished." Then you get a story about how the motel's bar had seven seats. I'd quote and link, but the newspaper has a warning about redistributing material, so I'll assume they don't want to be quoted.
