Around my apartment

I took some pictures real quick down Glenn: about 1-2 miles from my apartment.

This sign looked interesting because it's so faded and absorbed into it's enviroment.

Found this sign in front of a rundown property in a surreal line of abandoned, rundown properties.

This is the sign to a very nice, small, and deserted park.

Interdasting Vidya

I found this interesting video, while browsing youtube, that addresses signs, graphic art, and the erosion of historic signs in our culture. It's a good watch and I think we need to do "take it back" as the author insists.

Old Sign in the Middle of the Desert

I found this old warehouse while exploring in the desert with my friend.

It's very run down and doesn't look like it's been used for decades. It was beside railroad tracks and had a loading dock for trains so it had to have been related to railroad shipping. The only question is: what did it store? It isn't near any large industry that would require a large warehouse.

South Tucson Day 7

This is the 7th and final post of my South Tucson Pictures... for now.

This is one of my few portrait pictures. But because of the sign, this was ratio was completely necessary.

This is a good saying.

I wonder how the 'A' came off; the letters were painted on.

This is one of the most flamboyant signs I have ever seen.

South Tucson Day 6

This is one of the most run down places I have ever seen. It must have been glorious when it was open but now it's closed and breaking down. I would think that it would be a great building for something like an art gallery but I don't think artists see it that way.

Got this while I was in the car. Taken in a very quick shot.

I couldn't help but focus on the bottom of this sign. It looks like it's about to fall down. Pigeons made a nest inside it.

South Tucson Day 5

Here is my fifth day of South Tucson pictures.

That guy in the mural reminds me of the No Me Gusta face.

This is Paradise Motel's less sketchy counterpart down the road a few yards.

Says what is needs to say. If I need tires and wheels this is the place I would go.

"Paradise" Motel

Here is day 4 of my South Tucson pictures.
I'm dedicating today's post to a very special location in South Tucson, you'll see why from the pictures.

If you can see, the sign, at one time, had neon lights over the lettering, but that time was long ago.

This motel has Kitchenettes, and some other stuff, but I can't make out what else. Maybe each room has a T.V. but beyond that, this sign isn't much help.

No association with Paradise Bakery.

The owner doesn't play games.
