This is all that's left. You can see the rows in aerial photographs.

Store 1164, 33 River Rd; an early 80s Rite Aid built next to a Quick Chek. Has an older logo with the "Pharmacy" in different font. The store itself has the Wellness window decals, but still has all of the original 80s decor inside; it's possible the store's going to get the full Wellness remodel in the future.

Wacky Japanese sign in Kyoto, Japan.

In Hawaii, it's common for folks to make and display "No Spray" signs on their property to prevent government weed-control crews from spraying herbicide on their roadside plantings. I've shot photos of over 30 such signs so far, and I've only covered our neighborhood.

 

Here's a crude collage of these signs I put together a few months ago.

Yet another vintage neon motel sign to add to the records. Someday, these will all be gone.

 

Fond du Lac is the only big northeast Wisconsin city that I haven't made a decent effort at combing by camera. Maybe someday...

We had dinner here tonight.

 

I'd seen a photo of this sign in another Flickr Members photostream (Phydeaux460) and was intrigued by the place. So much so that I decided next time I had a few free days off work I was going to head up that way and check it out. We didn't go just for this reason but it was part of a 4 day road trip I was able to put together. It was however one of our "must do" stops and we'd hoped we'd make it there around dinner time (we did).

 

Anyway, when we got there, there was a bit of a line. No problem, that can only mean the food is worth waiting for. We were told it would be a 20-25 minute wait. No problem. I wasn't thrilled though that they guy at the counter would not take my name, he just said "don't worry, I'll find you". After a few minutes, I decided to wait near the register so he'd have to stare and me and remember I needed to be seated. He eventually said "so you have four right"? Uh, no, just three. "Oh, Okay, you can sit there" (which tells me he'd have probably forgotten about me had I not been right there where he had to look at me).

 

We then sat down. The place was somewhat what I expected, older looking, a bit of a dive, but in a good way. The plastic chairs were not much to sit in, but what can you expect for an old place, right?

 

The waitress came right over and gave us menus and took our drink order. I was rather surprised looking at the menu when I saw the prices. For a dive, the prices were far more than I'd expect (Ravioli dinner was just under $20). When the waitress brought back my drink, a diet Coke, it was a glass of ice and a can (I assume that means no refill - and there wasn't).

 

Though the prices were a bit more than we expected, we decided to suck it up and go for it since we were there. The dinners include bread, salad and desert, so why not.

 

I'd read on the internet that they had a special salad and it was supposed to be quite good. It was brought in a bowl, over filled with two more bowls turned upside down on top (serve yourself style). Interesting for sure, I was fine by that. It was pretty decent, just greens mixed in Buddy's own creamy Italian dressing. A little less dressing would have been better, but it was decent. We also had our choice of bread, garlic or cheesy garlic. We got one of each and they were both great.

 

I decided I had to try the ravioli since that's what the sign says. I figured it must be the specialty. The menu and the waitress both told me it would be a 20-25 min wait as they were prepared for each order. No problem there. And it took just about that long to arrive. It didn't seem too bad though having salad and bread to eat in the mean time.

 

My wife had the spaghetti and I the ravioli with meatballs. The meatballs were really good, the ravioli, not so much. It's not that it was bad, it was just nothing to write home about. The ravioli shells were a bit thick for my liking and they had way too much sauce on them (my wife said the same about her spaghetti).

 

When we finished, the waitress came over and asked if we'd like desert. My wife asked, "the dinners come with desert, right?" The waitress said "no". So we passed on dessert. However, both me and my wife would have sworn the menu said it did. We really didn't care as neither of us really wanted anything, but our daughter was looking forward to eating ours. We're not really the type to argue, so we didn't. However, when we got back to our room, I looked at their menu on the Internet and it clearly states that the dinners include bread, salad, coffee and desert.

 

Overall, the experience was just so-so and we got screwed out of desert. Again, I didn't care, but at $20 a plate, I sort of cared. I didn't walk out thinking it was terrible, but if I was in the area again, I'd surly not go back. I'm sure for $40 I can find a far better meal elsewhere.

Located In Clear Lake California, the mini. golf is still there (across the street) but its not in use. its all overgrown, but it still has the cool ornamental giant fiberglass stuff there!

Signboard; Vivre, Yokohama

This was the sign that greeted visitors entering Sycamore, Illinois on Illinois Highway 23 { Main St. } north of town. There also were matching signs entering town on Illinois Highway 64 as well. This one has been saved and is on display at the Sycamore History Museum. The village should have new copies commissioned & installed as these were classics!

I bet those are expensive. Hos ain't cheap.

So it's been almost two years since my camera last caught the attention of ever-vigilant law enforcement agencies.

 

My friend and I stopped by Temple Terrace City Hall so that I could get a few pictures. I had just taken my fourth picture, of the "Prisoner Unloading Only" sign, when a cop comes out from the side of the building. He asks me what I'm doing and I tell him that I'm taking a picture of the sign since I think it's kind of funny. "What's so funny about it," he asked. I say something along the lines of, "I don't know. Prisoner-only zone, hah." He walks over and asks why I was taking pictures of city hall and, especially, his patrol car. I tell him that I just like taking pictures of this kind of stuff. Naturally, he doesn't believe me. He asks for my ID and starts copying it onto a pad of paper, while reading my name and license number to some dispatcher. Unfortunately for him, my record comes up clean, but he still has me give him my height and weight. He asks where I work and then expresses some doubt about the place's existence. He continues to ask me why exactly I'm taking pictures of the building and keeps bringing up the fact that tomorrow is September 11, sort of implying that he thinks (or had the thought) that I'm going to do something to the hallowed halls of Temple Terrace government.

 

By this point, another cop has walked over and the first cop asks how I got here. I tell him that my friend is sitting in his car in the city lot across the street. He sends the other cop over there to investigate. More questions follow, such as if I have a weapon on me, all the while repeating that tomorrow is September 11 and that we just can't take any chances, can we? He escorts me over to my friend's car, where two more cops have gathered. They run my friend's license and then let us go. I was somewhat surprised that they didn't try to search us or attempt to pull the old "bully incriminating evidence out of them" trick.

 

So, there you go. My camera and I are suspicious enough to warrant four cops and two patrol cars.

Very old DQ neon--remember seeing this one on my first visit to the Kankakee area back in the late 70s. I actually thought it was a new sign,as I'd never seen a neon one before.

Very close to Olivet Nazarene University on US Route(s) 45 & 52 (Kennedy Drive).
