Speaking of the Motel Inn in San Luis Obispo, California:
"Built in 1925 in the Spanish colonial style much beloved by restaurant owners, Zorro, and almost no one else..."

I'll give you the rest of that sentence later. But this part you've just read, it took me about 6 or 7 read-throughs to get it...and then one more, just now as I was typing it, brought about the true understanding.

Here's the rest of the sentence...
"...it sits in the shadow of a busy elevated freeway amid a cluster of gas stations, fast-food outlets, and other, more modern motor inns."

Please do let me know if you experienced any similar troubles.
And before you mock too much, I am rather sleepy...
