Mocha Moose
Great sign and great place for a bite to eat and a terrific cup of coffee while strolling Lake City, Colorado
Crystal Lake #34
Lake City, Colorado Freemasons Guild: Interesting sign and in fact an active guild in this small Colorado mountain town.
Red Umbrella
Not a very original title but it's accurate :-D LOL This type of signage is ubiquitous throughout the Netherlands. And it was the wonderful contrast of white 'newer' stucco building, red umbrella and 1800's gothic stone architecture in the background that caught my eye and tells an interesting story.
Derfriet
Neunen, Netherlands. One thing for sure - EVERYBODY wants fries with that :D LOL Little french fry shops are everwhere in Netherland cities.
De Aarrdappel Eters
Nothing like ice cream whilst strolling the streets of Neunen, Netherlands
Antwerp Fry Guy
Do you want fries with that? Fries were EVERYWHERE and their advertisizing was entertaining to say the least
Beer Bunny
Maastrictht, Netherlands. Gotta love the adhoc advertisiing strewn along the walkways through the town.
Ranch House Café
I sure hope the food is fresher than their sign :-D LOL I confess I liked the contrast of the sign patina with the modern crispness of the wind turbine.
Jake and Elwood
The Blues Brothers are still getting their kicks in Joliet here at the ice cream parlor. I confess to being a fan of Jake and Elwood.
Big DINO
The Big Texan Steak Ranch, motel and restaurant, had a Big Dinosaur out front. I think he's a lot of fun albeit complete outta context - and maybe that's the point :-D
Blue Swallow Motel
These olde schoole motel signs, classics from the 40's, 50's and 1960's, adorne route 66. Worth the drive just to hunt for them throughout the journey.
Keizersgracht
Signs and signage can take on an entirely different context in Europe. Here it's a man working on a shop sign, with the street sign virtually hidden in the ornate building signage adorning the entrance, dwarfed by the unit nuber sign above a side door
Ye Ole John Hancock
Skilled hands of an artist and sclupture signing their biography.
Taos Inn
I've always enjoyed strolling small towns in the western states looking for these sorts of little gems.
Wannamaker
A great example of how shop signs can be artististic, fun, and informative.
Are You Ready Boots?
These boots are made for walking - and custom made no less!
TurnTable
Olde Towne, Victoria, British Columbia, has some terffic little gems like this scattered everywhere.
Toms Urban
The corner of Larmar Square, edge of Denvers Lo-So district. Sadly - Tom's has closed and the sign is gone, much like the Cuban Cabana type club before that.
Elysée
Strolling through Santa Fe as the sun rises is one of my favorite things. The streets are empty but the texture of the buildings, signs, and scluptur visually jump out - if you take the time to look.
Golden Arch
This one of the olde schoole single arch McDonald's signs from the 1950's and 1960's. Sadly the "Speedee" character here (used from c.1948 - 1962) has in recent years been vandalized or damaged due to weather. Pity as it was a terrific look in the quaint Colorado town of Montrose.
Blue Sushi
On the edge of the Denver Lo-D0 district
Mike's
I recall many of these signed throughout Edmonton in the original locations. While I'm glad they've been preserved, I think it would have been great if they'd been historically preserved in their origional locations. The character of pieces lent a welcome fabric to the cities streetscape.
Rabbit Ears - Day
Another historic landmark sign and a fun old school motel we've stayed at, Sadky the sign has been vandalized,
