In my travels on the back roads doing genealogy research, I’ve seen hundreds of remnants of times gone by. These iconic symbols of "Americana" inspired me to create this blog. By documenting them, I'll remember and maybe you'll find something interesting to hunt down next time you are in one of these areas!
Some time in the 1960's, probably to catch the traveler's eye, this bright neon sign
replaced a much more subdued stone arrowhead sign for this motel that was opened in 1949. The motel is now closed but the sign remains and you can see it on Route 66 in Gallup, NM
