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!

They look a little weathered, but these signs were restored in 2009. The motel is still in operation, but only as weekend rentals. It was built in 1947 and was bright yellow back in the day. If you are driving at night, you can see these signs lit up on Highway AT in Villa Ridge, MO
