Stop sign in Plymouth, Maine.

Signes

W. Main St., Wickford, Rhode Island

The kind of lettering that inspired Gotham. Likely 1950s.

Thumbs up to beer.

This is why I patronie the Nicollet Diner . . . it is also open 24/7/365, genuine clientele and great owners. I met both of the guys when they first opened. The place offers good value, great food, and terrific staff.

There aren't many places in MPLS or St. Paul that are opened 24/7 and since I am from Chicago, I find places open all hours are the basic necessities of urban living.. . . indeed, maybe life itself.

They do have a full bar in a separate back area . . . food is served there as well along with entertainment and Happy Hour.

Step through a small door into a cozy small little cubby to the funky "Muffin Top Cafe" for coffee and "dolce".

I think the owners are geniuses, personally. It really is a community gathering place where all are welcome.

This photo is through my windshield as I decided to not bother getting out of the car.

glad I got a photo of this before it was taken down

Did a nice long hike with a friend over the weekend. It was totally worth waking up at 3:30am for this.

Shot with:

Canon 7D

These are vanishing quickly! They're being replaced by the Colonel Sanders "apron" sign.

Florence, Italy

I'm pretty sure this was on the left end of the store, so (if I'm right that is, haha!), that would make this the aisle 16 marker at the rear aisle.

Thank you for your comments & Fav.!

I spotted this wonderful sign on a shop doorway in Dartmouth... only the mobile phone number has been altered to protect the innocent.

It appears that this motel was built in 1971 as a Best Western motel. I am not sure what, if anything, this was between Best Western and Budget Host.

I had originally thought this complex was an L+K Motel and Restaurant complex since there is an obvious former L+K restaurant and a motel that appeared to be the same complex. L+K was a big operator of motels and restaurants under the L+K name. The first odd thing I found was when the restaurant was listed as being built in 1970 and the motel was listed as being opened in 1971. However, I looked closer at the vintage photo I found of the site and noticed the L+K sign only listed "FOOD" and didn't have "MOTEL" on it. On even closer inspection of the photo, I noticed what appears to be a Best Western sign in front of the motel. It doesn't appear the motel was an L+K, so it must have just been the restaurant only location.

I personally don't know if this is a beer or an ale, but I do know it's a very cool sign. I shot it behind the bar at the Hare and Hound Pub in Landrum, SC

JacK & Jill are a regional group of grocers. This is one of the newest signs I've ever seen for them. There's another one in Wapello I'll try and collect next time I'm down that way.

Cool old neon sign for a small grocery store in Clovis, California (Fresno area). I'm not sure if it still lights up, but it looks well maintained. Picture taken after buying a soft drink and some munchies.

Centerville, Iowa, Looks like they tried to cover the NORGE part.
