Amazon.com: Books: The Motel in America (Road and American Culture) (#)

„The Motel In America explores the effect on American culture as citizens became motorists. The popularity of motels grew steadily throughout the century, booming after World War II, and reaching a peak in 1961 with over 61,000 motels operating throughout the country with the vast majority of them independently owned, introducing Americans to consumer novelties like color televisions, automatic coffee makers, shag rugs, and residential swimming polls. By the 1980s the number had dropped to around 40,000 with most of them affiliated with referral and franchise chains, reflecting the traveler's need for uniform quality and the entrepreneur's desire for regional or national recognition. The Motel In America is a comprehensive history from autocamp to franchise, illustrating much that is central to the American experience.“

„There may be several reasons for coffee not to stay warm:Some units have an automatic shut-off feature. This is a safety feature that would automatically shut off your coffeemaker after 2 or 4 hours, depending on the model. Make sure that the unit hasn't been running longer than this time.The unit may require cleaning to remove mineral deposits that build up over time and cause coffee to brew cooler than normal.If your unit has a thermal decanter, make sure that it is clean and that the lid is kept closed. The thermal decanter should keep coffee warm for 2 to 4 hours after brewing.If coffee brews cold, and if the warming plate is not getting warm, your unit may need to be repaired.“
