Wow! what a treasure from a hot rodding landmark. Talk about a rare one..... What year did that sign come down? 80's?
In my house, the arrow's from an old Schwinn Cycle shop my wife found in the dumpster after it closed
LOL! Wait a minute! THIS is your wife? AND she goes dumpster diving to find old signs for you? Let me guess. She also owns a liquor store, too! This officially makes you the luckiest boy in the world! What the hell am I doing wrong???
I have an art print hanging in my office a friend of mine painted of the Highway Host, almost looks like he stole your pic! Funny, he couldn't remember where it was from. I have hundreds of pics of old neon signs, been taking them for years, I'd post a few but all 35mm.
Washoe Valley, Nevada. Motel long gone, sign barely hanging in there. The Dari Delish Drive In. St. Helens, Oregon. Started life as a Dari Delite. One of my favorite signs anywhere. The Palms Motel. Portland, Oregon.
here's one before they tore down the building for a new unemployment office. was the oldest existing sign here in moultrie. they are tearing down history here left and right.
here's a one of a kind thats gone now, some of my earliest memories are of this station, it was supposed to be put in a mueseum but it was thrown away along with all of the drawings and photos of it. I used to go there with my dad in the seventies in the Plymouth to get gas. here's the link. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/980
The following batch are from my friend Greg Germani's website www.atlantatimemachine.com These are all taken in and around the Atlanta area .I encourage you to check it out when you have a couple of hours to kill, even if you've never been to Atlanta you'll still get a kick out of it.Theres a few that may be a bit o/t before and after shots of where old signs used to be and what it looks like now,hope it dosen't ruffle any feathers....
