Well it's finally going to happen. The weatherman says we are going to get hit with "the BIG ONE"!
Time to sit back and watch the insanity ensue as folks rush off to the grocery store and wipe out the shelves in anticipation of this event.
People around here really do go crazy when they predict snow. I'll bet the folks that live in places like Michigan or upstate New York just laugh at us.
Sigh! I guess I better go get that loaf of bread!
Larry left me this sign on the kitchen counter this a.m.
A repairman working on the marquee for what was once the State Theatre - on State Street the Uptown district of Westerville, OH. The State Theatre opened as a movie house in 1927. It screened films until it closed sometime in the 1970s. It was vacant for years until becoming in turns a furniture store, a consignment shop, and a couple different restaurants, including the current "Barrel & Boar BBQ Gastropub". The marquee is original, restored a few years ago (the "8" was added) and being maintained by the current occupants.
The first fall leaf in my backyard has fallen! Had to include it :-)

Jimmy John's sign: "Proper Apologies have Three Parts. 1 What I did was wrong. 2. I feel badly that I hurt you. 3. How can I make this better."
A sad, sad event has taken place - the Capitol Motel sign in Salt Lake City has been horrifically damaged. I don't know what happened, but I don't think this is an intentional demolition - the damage is very haphazard-looking and a large chunk of the sign is lying on the sidewalk, surrounded by police tape.
I noticed this on the way to lunch with a friend, and after we ate I went home and got my camera and came back for a few shots. I arrived at the same time as a weathered gent who I think is a scrap-metal dealer - we told each other what our purposes there were, but I couldn't understand him very well. I think he understood the words I said ("I'm a hobbyist who takes pictures of signs") but maybe not why anybody would behave like I was.
I left just ahead of a woman emerging from the place - I think she was the proprietress, looking very angry, so I didn't stick around to interview.
Here is a night shot of this lamented vintage neon.
ETA: roadsidepictures called the motel and the lady there said the sign just fell down on its own.

A welcoming sign to Lebanon, Missouri at the turn for 66 into town. Actually, this was supposed to be a part of a video, but I'm still working on it.
