Atomic Googie Architecture in South Tucson

I love the way the old roadside buildings leaned up to meet you, trying to look larger than they were from the street.

 

This building is now in a big parking lot for a Mexican supermarket, kinda off to the side a bit. The sign, (that wonderful sign!), is obscured by trees.

 

Someone told me the atomic satellite / sputnik neon ball at the top used to spin, and that underneath that chicken with a gold tooth is still the original sign!

 

I really hope someone restores this place, as it's much more of a wreck now than when I took these photos a while back.
