Last week as I was exploring around the park I found some cool things. I learned there were pioneer barbers and I also learned about some of the statuary from the 1950s. I decided to take a walk and try to find some more 40s, 50, and 60s artwork.
Historian's would say this little motel is a "mid century jewell" while I look at it and say "Yup from the 50s".
Of course in the 50s they didn't have a light rail track in the middle of the street as we do now.

| Nice day, eh? |
Up next on my 1950s tour is the Palms, no not the fancy place in Vegas. I will say they have a cool sign.
I wasn't there at night but I did find a picture of it lit up. Pretty cool.
According to a blog I read about it the owner is really nice and is thinking of adding more neon monkeys to the sign. That's my kind of motel owner. Perhaps a neon fox would add a touch of class to the sign?
I found also found this sign today on my excursions. Looks like it's from the same era.
All this running around has made me hungry. I didn't bring any Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches so I should probably go out and eat. Ah, this place looks perfect!
I wonder if they have chicken?
A fox on the sign would work, but it would have to have a tropical theme. Do you have a grass skirt and a lei with you, by any chance?...
ReplyDeleteGood point......a tropical fox....I like that. Perhaps I should schedule a trip to the Caribbean or Hawaii to research this idea.
DeleteCool neon sign! Maybe your seKretary could order a large Little Fox neon sign for the top of your roof??
ReplyDeleteThat would be great and since we don't have an HOA I think I can convince them to do that. Do you know anyone who works in neon?
DeleteCool! I saw a show... let's see... they made neon sides for a home renovation somewhere in England. Hmm... guess that won't help. Mind you, I would imagine Vegas must have some neon sign maker/repairers around. I like the idea of a fox in a grass skirt!
ReplyDeleteCool facts!
