proliferation

Mesa, Arizona

due to a post WW2 boom in automobile travel, cross country trips became the new adventure for US citizens...one result was the proliferation of motels, diners, and attractions aimed at tourist business

Love those old signs. Everything now is so bland. That must look great lit up. V

A timeless sign so prevalent in the southwest.

Shades of road tripping with my grandparents...

and an endless variety of subject matter for eager photographers. But for the wif this could be a photo from
forty years ago.

It must have a swimming pool. Neat capture of the sign of nostalgia. Back in the day, there would have been no wifi or cable tv. V

Great old sign. I especially like the diving woman.

I’ll bet many a traveler stayed there. Looks like it is still in business too. So nice against the clear blue sky.
Helen Betts20-Dec-2024 22:03
Great find. Looks like it’s still open for business.

Love that sign, harking back to those now far-off days when motor travel across the land was a new of travel. Remember that old Chevy ad: "See the USA in your Chevrolet"! V

Cool depiction of lodging choices that appear lost in time VV~

The sign itself shows the march of time - neon, to advertising 'cable TV', though to 'WiFi...perfectly observed

Great shot of this classic neon signage. I bet it was really attractive at night too. ~BV~
