classic roadside signs and or buildings

Downtown Warren Ohio back in the day......

 

That reminds me of a diner in Fairbanks.
The restaurant is closed but it's still there.

 

Very cool Old 040 - I was in Warren 4 x per year for 4 years but love history so looked up the area and - thanks for the additional pics - wow - back in the day - the $$$ that was there was impressive.

 

A few more pics to make your day, some of the eateries and pubs and a shoeshine/cigar store on that same stretch of road from the time period or even earlier. I find it funny that most of the men in the pubs are older, not like all the young'ns you would see today.

 

Thanks for the pics - not sure why i am fascinated by a city 1000 miles from where i am from (CT) - but NE ohio intrigues me - thanks for the pics and hope you and people are doing well - chin up. thanks

 

Joy land in Wichita
Closed in 2006 they removed the sing and had it restored its in a warehouse somewhere in Wichita. They also are restoring the old carousel.

 

This ones pretty cool. The motel is still open.

 

Bob's Java Jive in Tacoma WA. Closed now. I ate breakfast there once, many years ago, just to say I had! Chintzy interior with red leatherette booths and metal rimed tables as I remember. Each booth had one of those mini jute boxes with the flip pages. Breakfast was OK, coffee was great!

 

Only took me a few years to get a picture of it lit up.

 

dad goes there for his old car things

 

The car shows are very popular in the summer.

 

Ah.... curly "Q" fries. Summer in New England!

 

Not really a roadside sign, but saw this At Denver flea market on Sunday
