Headed to Vegas.
For Earth Day.
Which somehow takes all the fun out of it.
Stardust Motel on Ogden Avenue in Naperville, Illinois (which I'm pretty sure is a section of the old Route 66, but they don't advertise it much).
Holga.

newly minted vintage
Is there a word for this: Gorgeous Polaroids of vintage signage before time passes and the "retro" designation settles in?
And if there is, then I'm sure there's a word for girls like me who get all damp when they hear the words "signage+polaroid" in the same sentence.
Roadside Pictures has posted a found collection of polaroid prints on Flickr, taken by someone who worked for a sign company in the 1950s and 60s.
And to make it even better: they're all from my home turf of Washington state (just down the road from Seattle, it looks like -- near Tacoma, Puyallup and Gig Harbor.)
No. Wait. To make it EVEN better, many bear ballpoint sketches of what may have been works in progress.
Retro-fitted retro.
