The Sky Vue Drive In still lights the night sky with Hollywood along Route 66 in Litchfield, Illinois,
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

The Hillbilly Arcade was located on the grounds of Hillbilly Town, home of the Sky Slide and Goofy Golf. I snapped this photo in the 90's before it was torn down. I loved this animated sign. Osage Beach, Missouri 1996?
I think "El Don" means "the gift" in spanish, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense when looking at the sign.
This is a cool little tunnel sort of thing that connects Bowery and Elizabeth streets in Chinatown. The sign literally read 中国街 (中國街 in traditional characters) which means "China Street."
For those of you who follow my stream you might remember me mentioning a bunch of layoffs at my company a few weeks ago. My boss was one of the ones laid off! Now I have a new one, and things are just crazy at work. Apologize for being virtually invisible. Will do my best to catch up. Also, it's been really cold in New York lately, sometimes it's just to intimidating to go out!!!
Ziemlich interessante Typographie, oder?
This is what one may call just a wee bit unusual typography.

I'm sorry to be all over the place on my recent posts. I'm cleaning out some old forgotten shots in my archive. They are attracting cobwebs... ;- )
... with all of the folderol of pretentious eating joints? I have. You know what I mean, the joints with huge signs, creative lighting, fancy landscaping, and located on prime property.
Gimme a place with no tablecloths, no valet parking, no French accents, and no photos of movie stars on the walls.
What I want is a surprising experience. So, when we rode past this eatery last Saturday I said to my wife, "This joint is worth a shot. Are you in?"
"Of course."
We went in, met Brittany [our server], ordered a large pizza, and ate the WHOOOOLE thing. It was really good. So good, we entered NO NAME PIZZA into our laptop as a reminder on our next trip to the New Bern region.

“Singing is such an excellent thing, that I wish all people would sing” ~ Richard Byrd
How appropriate that Mr Byrd would write such a quote.
On the trip down to Knoxville, one of the many things Karen and I squealed with delight over was the idea of visiting the Colonel Sanders Museum. Then we noticed there was a Museum of Appalachia. There were choices to be made, for we knew we could hit at least one of these tourist wonderlands on our way back up North. So, research was done and the Colonel Sanders Museum won out, due to it's low low price (free) and it's guaranteed finger lickin' goodness. With the promise of eleven herbs and spices you can't go wrong!

It's time once again to go off the grid. New postings to these pages will be deferred until it gets too hot out there in the desert. Goodbye asphalt, hello washboard. Near Big Pine, Inyo Co., Calif.
