This is a a rural place on the edge of town on a road not traveled. I had the place to myself except for a couple of nearby horses. It was fun to remember some of the businesses that used to be around as I looked thru the signs. Because of the way they are stacked it is impossible to photograph many of them but there are some good memories here just waiting.....
and even an old truck or two....
here is me from January 2008---doing my Col. Sanders impersonation. I need a white suit....
from the old "Rocket drive in theater"
Ed's motel (wherever that was)---
some old cafe sign
the "Newport Grille"
some other cafe---
Sparkle car wash
and my personal favorite---simply titled "Eat" which I like to do.....
One of these days I will ask the owner of these big old reminders of days gone by if they are for sale.......but for now I enjoyed my time there and while not as cool as the big Vegas Neon Boneyard.....it was still cool to me.
Thanks for looking at a snapshot of vanishing Americana with me. Let's do it again sometime!
Nice! Neat photos.
