Why

As I'm in Tucson over the summer i've decided to make the most of it. I've noticed that Tucson has varying and alluring signs distributed all over the city. They're there to give identity to shopping plazas, give stores a distinct impression and they function to add character to a very hot and rapidly expanding city.
Many of these signs are old relics from the past. A few are from the 50's the 60's the 70's, perhaps even earlier. Some are falling down, decaying as the decades press on, yet they manage to maintain an existence. For some reason, no one has bothered to take these signs down, update or replace them. That might change in the future. I'm not going to wait until it's too late though.
I'm taking it upon my self to document them this summer.
