d76459a. Note the contradiction between this sign and the national parks sign in the previous photo.
Nudity is formally permitted on the beach, in the water in front of the beach and on a significant part of the rocks just off the beach!
And then the reality of the situation is quite different again. The accepted nude area extends along the rocky coast in both directions, and up into the bush for quite a long distance on the seaward side.
2783 Washington Boulevard, Ogden. The interior looks very Tiki-style, though I don't recall seeing actual tikis.
Going to this restaurant on Christmas Eve was a tradition in my family from about 1972 until maybe 1980. Not sure about the dates and not sure why we went there, but I now appreciate the place as the time capsule it is.
ETA: now closed for good, sadly. AFAIK the place is intact for the moment.
ETA 8/27/11: Very sadly, saw workmen dismantling the neon for this place today as Dad and I drove past. They appeared to be doing so carefully, but I don't know if that means there's any preservation effort afoot or if they just didn't want to get broken glass all over. The building appears to be getting remodeled or maybe demolished.
Sentinel-3B is well and truly signed and sealed … just the delivery into orbit part to go!

Naked sign without the panel I cleaned-up. Original tubes still inside, I can't remember what bulbs this used but they're not cheap. The original tubes did light up but not very well, so I bought new ones.

JCPenney sign recovered from Northridge Mall, Milwaukee.
Abandoned for 18 years after the store closed in 2000, and merely covered-up with cheap spraypaint (likely because it was infested with wasps). The paint covering the white plastic scraped-away easily with a quarter to reveal the letters. From there I cracked it open (to vacuum out 40+ years of dead wasps and found it just needed a regular 120v cord and some bulbs to light up, again.
Located in Depot Town, the historic section of Ypsilanti, Michigan. Several faded ghost signs are also visible on the side of this building.

This is the first Chesterfield Cigarettes ghost sign that I ever come across. I can recall when Chesterfield was one of the most widely advertised and sold cigarettes brand. However, I have not noticed any advertising for Chesterfield in many years.
The sign is in good condition and appears to have been restored. It covers part of a Rex Flour ghost sign as evidenced by the visible “Rex is King” statement which is normally included in Rex Flour ghost signs.
Comments are welcome.

Last night when we were putting Jessie to bed, she told us she thinks she lost her stuffed dog Luc Dog (named after our old dog Luc) at school. It's her favorite stuffed animal. She loves him like no other toy. She began crying at the thought that she might not see him again. So I made this sign and we're going to hang it at her school. I hope we find him. She will be crushed if we don't.
This one's up for debate. There is another door with a normal Man|Woman sign. This one must be for children. It may be telling us that boys should enter the boys' room, optionally accompanied by a man, and girls should go to the girls' room, optionally accompanied by a woman.
But the boy and the girl are in gray, whereas the man and the woman appear in black. That would mean that men should go to the men's room, optionally accompanied by their sons and women should go to the women's room, optionally accompanied by their daughters, right?
Or is this all about the vertically challenged? "Must be this tall to pee..."
The sign, the form, the name — all the attributes of the sign system create a hindrance ... Reality is not captured by these bodies!

2013-A Year In Photos-#40
This is one of the busiest corners in the Nobb Hill area of Albuquerque. It has 5 different streets merging at this point. It can get a bit congested here at times and it's got lots of signs. I only got a few in this shot. Interesting sign above telling the pedestrian to use the cross walk, but then above says "no pedestrians"...a tad confusing! I love the Model Pharmacy sign about the European Fragrances, it's a favourite of mine.
Thank You for any/all comments you may wish to add, I do appreciate them all.
Have A Warm, Safe and Terrific Tuesday.

UFO landing area or Asphalt photograph .
Asphalt has been around for millions of years in crude oil, it doesn't last forever when used for paving roads. Few of us can have missed jolting over cracks and ruts in heavily trafficked roads.
A number of factors impinge on the performance of asphalt. These include its composition and the crude oil source, the type and amount of aggregate used, the presence of moisture, the method of road construction, temperature, and, of course, the volume of traffic.
