In real life, the Oasis, on the east-bound side of Admiral Wilson Boulevard (NJ Route 38) was one of three hot-sheet motels and a few strip clubs scattered along the highway between the old Sears-Roebuck store and the Airport Circle in Pennsauken, where NJ Routes 38, 70 and 130 converged and redirected.
The Oasis was at the Baird Avenue pedestrian overpass and eastern exit and backed onto the Cooper River. It was diagonally across the highway from Zinman Furs, a company featured regularly as a prize supplier on network game shows in the '60's and the '70's.
Irony #1: My family took the Baird Avenue exit off Route 38 when we visited my brother's in-laws in Pennsauken NJ. They had a home just a few blocks off the highway and the Oasis was always in our rear view mirror.
Irony #2: For a few years in the '60's and '70's one of my Father's relatives was an owner/investor in the Oasis property. Pop was never very happy that one of his relatives was invested in a whore house.
Irony #3: From the late '60's through the early '70's, the top floor of the building was rented by a recording studio. I used their facilities to "sweeten" and remix and edit the jingle package originally recorded for the first station I programmed.
