Nothing, AZ - The Sign Remains

Image
I like to stop by and take a photograph of the spot merely to record it over time and how it's gone from a hustle bustle place to stop to a decent place to pull over and check on the sign. The big sign is now tilting and I don't think that it will be hanging there for very long. I have photos from when this was a place where you could stop and get food, there was an example of a jail, there were baby rattles and other fun things. On One stop about 20-24 years ago the man inside explained all about the population of Nothing and how it went from 30 to 50 to 10 to 20 and he went on and on and on. This was on a trip with hockey players, and so I think I stop here just to remind them to stop along the way because nothing is going to be there forever.

Miami, Arizona - Establishment Signs

Image
In 2015 I traveled the Danube with Rob and Tracey from New Zealand and they started my habit of photographing (and comparing) business signs that are attached to the front of the building.  Here are some that I saw in Miami.  The first two photographs are of the decorations along the street.  Someone sure does take some time to do this. And this ends my photographs from my weekend trip to Globe/Miami.

New Orleans - Old street names

I liked these tiled street name markers.  A few were taken at various stops along the same street.  I wanted to post them all here so that I could look at them and pick a few that I wanted to print. The frame holds three.  Which three do you like the best?
