"Tuxie’s Drive In” (05/2018) For when you’re in Riverside. Me/ Nikon D5200. |--------------------------------| (at Riverside, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK4F9xeFUOS/?igshid=15gl0snufuhg9

"The Aero Club” (07/2014) Let’s head on down to San Diego for this one. Feel free to fall in love with this sign. I’m mean, come on... who’s not a sucker for a sign shaped like a rocket ship? I wish I’d had the time to stop in for a cold brew, but I was deep into an old fashion sign hunting mission. Me/ Nikon D70. |--------------------------------| (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKy1QYIl7z3/?igshid=rl1e0ypqrwyk

"El Gallito” (03/2016) This place was a gem in my city until they replaced it with a big ugly casino. Blah! They had the best homemade Mexican food I’d ever tasted! Me/Samsung Galaxy S4. |--------------------------------| (at Cathedral City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKwODJilZJm/?igshid=1bhrb839egbtt

"Motel Oasis” (07/2013) It’s back to San Bernardino for this beaut. This rundown Motel is on an extremely “bad” street, so I’m not sure how much of an oasis it could be, but the sign is really nice. Me/Nikon D70. |--------------------------------| (at San Bernardino, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKtlFpslmhw/?igshid=1gj6jprsdhq1z

"Cactus Springs” (05/2013) There’s quite a few old signs up in Desert Hot Springs, California. Luckily I got this photo before they painted this sign and “updated” it. Unfortunately their restore took all the sign’s charm away. Me/Nikon D70. |--------------------------------| (at Desert Hot Springs, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKq_oA5lNG_/?igshid=1aou2lg7q4iyd

"Sky Harbor” (12/2018) This wonderful sign can be found in Yucca Valley, California. Me/Nikon D5200. |--------------------------------| (at Yucca Valley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKg_fxuFtwg/?igshid=njeagl31ssua

"The Farmhouse Motel” (12/2018) Here’s a classic from the Riverside California area. Unfortunately the place was abandoned, but at least the sign was still standing (for now). Me/IPhone 8+. |--------------------------------| (at Riverside, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKeM021FGxV/?igshid=15oprx4vkvzu1

“El Rancho Motel” (09/2014) Another beautifully rusty old signs from Williams, Arizona. |--------------------------------| (at Williams, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKbmBUFlCWY/?igshid=1qinmdfr5zzcz

"Canyon Club” (09/2014) Williams, Arizona has tons of great old signs all within walking distance from each other. You go through this cool little town on your way to the Grand Canyon. Me/Pentax X5. |--------------------------------| (at Williams, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKZOKq_FBB3/?igshid=hl7s3cpwkhe1

"Ice Skating” (05/2014) This gorgeous sign is across the street from the Vince’s Spaghetti sign I posted two photos ago. Ontario California may not have a lot of old neon signs, but the ones they do have are absolutely awesome! Me/Nikon D70. |--------------------------------| (at Ontario, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXFn45lvfB/?igshid=c5r4me1rs6iy

"Stan Lunds Resort” (01/2014) I’m not sure who Stand Lund is, but his sign is awesome. I need one of these! Me/Nikon D70. |--------------------------------| (at Borrego Springs, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUSpRAlpsz/?igshid=1o2am7g18fsvc

"Vince’s Spaghetti” (05/2014) This Ontario, California classic had me drooling! Me/Nikon D70. |--------------------------------| (at Ontario, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKOwWJ4lyyY/?igshid=1vqkizootvd6s

"Gaston’s Cafe” (10/2018) Unfortunately this business went out of business by the time I’d visited. At least they left up their beautiful sign! Me/Nikon D5200. |--------------------------------| (at Niland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_ctOSFlUf/?igshid=1sjrvbnop6uq4

"Holiday Motel” (05/2013) This Motel in Indio, California has two wonderful signs. This one is on the main road. |--------------------------------| (at Indio, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ6VkjilSRe/?igshid=189gcx4etups0

"Queens Fine Food” (07/2013) San Bernardino has a ton of cool old signs, but this Queens sign has got to be my favorite. |--------------------------------| (at San Bernardino, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ3udzVFV3m/?igshid=nks2cva4hprp

"John’s Marketplace” (01/2019) Check out this little beaut I found in Portland, Oregon. |--------------------------------| (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ1QtbsFFc3/?igshid=1xpcxwp15cr2g

"Italian Food Chef” (01/2019) This is a closeup of the Mona Lisa #3’s mascot. I bet it looks just as good as my (upcoming) photo of the whole sign. Anyone know how their food is? |--------------------------------| (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJyboBIl-sM/?igshid=zdt8acwevi7q
