We had a old Ramada that changed it's name to Adamar many years ago.....they flipped the sign backwards!

Interesting Wiki note "Around 1980 the company formed a division, Adamar of New Jersey (Ramada spelled backwards - the name Adamar had been used by the chain as early as 1970 for Ramada's hotel supply division), to manage some of its casino operations."

Wichita Kansas also had a Godfathers Pizza chain own by Aifam Corp (Mafia spelled backwards). it was my understanding that they did have "family ties"
