                       TRIBUTE TO TALL CORN MOTEL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 6, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Tall Corn Motel of Shenandoah, Iowa. For over 60 
years, the Tall Corn Motel has been a constant in the Shenandoah 
community. The business was founded in 1955 and was one of the first 
motels to be built in the state.
  Throughout the 1950s and 1960s the motel went through many changes 
and new ownership to accommodate what quickly became a famous Iowa 
landmark. With the economy booming, many motel guests looked at the 
motel as their home away from home. In fact, even world famous movie 
stars and musicians, such as the Everly Brothers, Elizabeth Taylor, 
Dolly Parton, Lucille Ball, John Wayne, and Marilyn Monroe, made 
appearances throughout the years at the Tall Corn Motel.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend the Tall Corn Motel for 60 years of dedicated 
service to the communities and visitors of Shenandoah and southwest 
Iowa. I urge my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating the Tall Corn Motel 
owners, and wishing them and their entire staff nothing but the best 
moving forward.
