@lucky225.2600.blue someone was asking on Reddit if the Mojave phone number was currently down or bugged

I went to the relighting ceremony last night for the Road Runner’s Retreat off Route 66 in Chambless, CA. The sign was recently restored and relit after like 50 years or something. It was really special to see this irl. The neon was so bright against the dark Mojave sky. #NeonSigns #Route66

My husband got the results today and he passed the Nevada bar exam!!!!!! 🥳

The Copper Cart. Seligman, AZ. 1952-2009. Currently used as a gift shop. The sign uses both neon and incandescent lighting with each side at one time containing 178 bulbs according to Route 66 Times.

I needed to digitally hoard lol

irl Mater out in Seligman, Arizona. Visiting this town triggered my brain into a complete Cars obsession. I realized the first movie had all of my favorite things! It’s perfect.

Grand Canyon Caverns off Route 66 in Arizona

#photography #Arizona #Route66

I wanted to stop at Grand Canyon Caverns specifically for that dinky little dinosaur that I barely caught in this photo. Once I pulled in, I got distracted by the big yellow sign and all of the other dinosaurs around the property. Was a little bummed I forgot him but there he is.

Route 66 in Peach Springs, Arizona. That’s the Grand Canyon Caverns off to the right.

it’s hard to keep up with so many apps. Most of my friends wouldn’t switch over so I post on IG (shellznv)

Frontier Motel & Cafe. Truxton, Arizona
Opened 1950s by Alice Wright. Sold to Ray&Mildred Barker. The property closed when Ray passed away in 2011. New owner attempted to renovate, but the project stalled by 2015.
The sign was renovated in 2003.

My depression got the better of me this year but I have a lot of photos to share so maybe i’ll try using this app again.

I took this photo of #GiganticusHeadicus out on #Route66 in Antares, AZ.

The lights on the Welcome sign went rainbow yesterday for Pride month. The lights frequently change throughout the month to support various causes. I wish Clark County publicized it more because it would be neat to capture all of the patterns for an archive.

Happy Pride! <3

"Worlds Tallest Ice Cream Stand"🍦 Seemore's Polar Parlor 🍦 out in Pahrump. Make roadside architecture fun again!

Remember when Vegas was fun and Talk of the Town used swingers to advertise? There were two swings that hung from this sign and the dancers would swing on them to lure in customers. There was also a mechanical bull in the parking lot.

Inspiration can take many shapes and forms. Something about the word 'princess', the decay rusting on the bottom of the sign, and the way the wind was catching the scraps that still hung on I found so irresistible. I had to pull over and admire. It's the little things in life.

I know I'm a little late to be posting this one for 4/20, but life was kicking me in the ass. It still is, but if I don't start posting my backlog, it will never get done.

She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. The Blue Angel is a symbol of hope. She has many fans happy to see their guardian angel looking over them from Fremont & Eastern once again. Designed by Betty Willis and restored by Hartlauer signs.

If you choose to visit these WILD animals, please do not: attempt to pet them, feed them, or bring your dogs (even on a leash) to the park. Bringing your dog poses a risk to both the sheep and your dog.

Say hi to the Boulder City Bighorns! The sheep that visit Hemenway Park are part of the River Mountain sheep herd. They have been testing positive for various strains of pneumonia since 2013. Lamb survival continues to be very low.

trying to keep my mind busy, so I'm editing a ton of the photos I've been taking over the last 4 months.
This is the dreamy Metro Pizza over on Decatur. It makes me feel like I'm inside of a Saved by the Bell episode. Love the Memphis modern vibes.

What I didn't know at the time is that the Starlite has been around since the 40's. The sign had some work done to it between April 2017 and April 2018. The structure itself looks similar, but the fonts have changed.

#streetphotography #photography #nevada #neonsigns

The sign at Starlite Motel was my muse for a day back in March... until someone came out of the property & questioned me a bunch for taking pictures of it. I could tell it made them uncomfortable, which made me uncomfortable, so I left.

I actually ended up buying the Selphy CP1500 and now I’m obsessed with printing every photo I’ve ever taken. It’s such a handy little tool and it makes me happy to see my art come to life in a physical form.
