Speaking of old motel signs, here's one more ... this one is over in Whitehall. Definitely one of the more politically-oncorrect signs in the state, but I still quite like it. It's a reminder of an era.
I like it, too. It's stylish and memorable...even though it is not PC. What is it about signs? Is it the design or the idea of what it conveys? I usually notice the lettering, good or bad.
Yep, I'm a big fan of signs, too ... at least the ones that don't all look the same. :) They say a lot, about the people who made them, and the time in which they were made. And a lot of them are just cool-looking, besides!
And no one's ever accused me of being PC in the least ... cleansing the world of supposedly derogatory references seems like a way of avoiding the real issues of the world, and just focusing on minor symptoms.
I'm a professional historian, though my real passions lie in the art of photography and the freedom of travel. Armed with camera and backpack, I've visited all fifty of the US states ... and a total of 65 countries on six continents.
