I Love Neon Signs!

Goal-directed road trips for specific signs happen, but finding vintage signs "in the wild" like the Salt Lake City, Dream Inn and the Gainesville, Sands Motel is always an exciting surprise! 

These colorful roadside treasures reflect the spirit of the past, when adventuresome families took to the road for vacations--a time before Google searches and GPS, when restaurants and motels competed for the attention of hungry and weary travelers. 

And if the big-arrow "Eat at Joe's" sign got your attention, then business was good!
