Awesome. I can’t wait to see the pictures you are going to get from your travels!
I hope I can work on this soon!
B-what a fun thing to look for! this is so similar to a presentation I saw at Ignite Portland.. the speaker’s hobby was to go out driving and photograph decorated/painted mailboxes. he had photographs of hundreds of different designs and talked about the best places to find ‘em. ping me and i’ll see if I can dig up the link for you…
Old mailboxes. That was cute idea. Would love the link!
I love the old signs too. They are few and far between here. Road trips would be fun to do. Hoping to do one this summer.
Love ROAD trips!!!!
We have a whole block here that has just been “re-vitalized” where they painted OVER all the old stuff–but they still call it by the old name–Catfish Alley. If looks great, and the shops are still pretty much the same, but it has lost it’s “flavor” with the new paint. I think they called it “progress”.
Oops…. They should have left as is or freshened! Of couse, just my opinion!
Have you seen the original “Winnebago” down at Lone Pine??? Now THAT is worth the trip! We’re riding out a huge blizzard here as I speak…aren’t you glad you’re in sunny Weather?
Never have been to Lone Pine. Sounds fun. It is blowing really hard today. We need rain!
