Roadside Relics of the Phoenix Metro Area



Roadside Relics of the Phoenix Metro Area. Vintage Neon Sign Photography by Jim Hale.

"In the late 40s, the booming post-war tourist trade gave Phoenix the title,“Motel Capital of the World.” A lot of the signs in this exhibition date to the era, though some are newer 60s vintage signs. Artisans and manufacturers like Young Electric Sign Co., Bud Johnson and Guerrero-Lindsey in Mesa crafted many of these beautiful neon art pieces seen throughout our area."

Snyggt. Mycket futurum och en hel del förfall. Snyggt!

Nästan som Vetlanda...

Tänkte faktiskt inte på det, men när du skriver det så!
Mjölkbaren i den småländska metropolen hade kanske en läcker reklamskylt ... dessutom hette den i Vetlanda belägna Nordiska Pianofabrikens succémodell Futurum
