I did a search but didn't see anything. I was watching my recording of American Pickers from earlier Wednesday evening and they stopped by: Garrett Auto Mart 1133 W Gentry Ave Checotah, OK 74426 (918) 473-5025 They are talking to the owner, Benny, and they look at an old Trade Winds Motor Hotel palm tree sign that Benny wanted $800 for. They offered $500 and he turned them down. The sign was pretty weathered. However, it was cool to see. The pickers get excited about motorcycles and old oil cans, but I always find myself trying to look off camera to see the Tiki stuff they are passing up. Neat to see an old sign get some attention.
