What's a "road colony"?
[Lawrence Sanders](//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Sanders), _Caper_, 1980. [1987 paperback edition](//www.worldcat.org/search?q=isbn%3A042510477X), page 61: > We saw crumbling walls, decayed ceilings, cracked plumbing fixtures, exposed electrical wiring. We saw one room that appeared to have decorative wallpaper until we realized it was an enormous road colony. We saw a once-elegant hotel that had become a whore's dormitory. What's a road colony? Web searches and dictionary lookups are yielding me nothing relevant.
