Coral Court St. Louis T-Shirt – Black Mineral Wash

Nestled on historic Route 66, The Coral Court Motel was a St. Louis legend; a neon-lit hideaway mixing mid-century modern style with roadside mystery. The Coral featured hotel rooms with individual garages, and a hidden swimming pool -- perfect for those who needed the most discretion. The legend of the Coral only grew after infamous kidnapper/murderer was arrested at the hotel, and then the cops who arrested him were themselves jailed after a couple hundred thousand dollars of the ransom money disappeared. The Coral Court's distinctive art deco curves and pink-and-black style made it unforgettable for travelers and locals alike. Today, the building is gone but the allure of the gritty yesteryear roadside icon continues to spark imaginations.
