And now for some roadside architecture🛣 🦆 ⁠ ⁠⁠ “Hat ‘n’ Boots, designed by Lewis Naysmith... Opened in 1954 as a Premium Tex service station, these buildings housed retail space under the hat and restrooms in the boots... After standing empty for more than a decade, the station received designation as a Seattle Landmark in 2002, and the buildings were preserved through relocation to nearby Oxbow Park the next year.”⁠⁠ (Text via University of Washington)⁠ ⁠⁠ Matt Hensley @matthensley22 , frontside ollie. Photo by Daniel Harold Sturt, 1992, originally printed in @transworldskate ⁠⁠ Recent Sturt/ Hensley inspired boneless by @dontmesswithberes , photo by @photojoebrook ⁠ in 2019⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #roadsidearchitecture⁠⁠ #matthensley⁠⁠ #danielharoldsturt #hatnboots⁠ (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMprVg3lbI6/?igshid=1hpvl0zfa1735

Every time I pass this house I wonder who lived in it. The house sits just across the road from the old school house and has historical potential. My mother always told me stories about our ancestors getting their start in Carson before moving to the south side of the canyon. I even wonder if the house they lived in still stands. • • • #igersabq #instagramersnm #bnw_focus_on #roadsidearchitecture #blackandwhite_photos #archistyles #bnw_oftheworld #bw_addiction #photowall_bw #carson #newmexico #newmexicotrue #flair_bw #incredible_bnw #bnwtones_flair #gottolove_bnw #awesomebnw #jj_blackwhite #bnw_zone #bws_worldwide (at Carson, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B55UhgtFOl0/?igshid=1l0rv037q47z8

California Crazy “It's interesting, the range of books Taschen publishes —from $9.99 to $12,500—and clearly they are visual books. But that's because Benedikt prints what he likes. His interest stems from a comic book store he had in Cologne when he was 18, and being mentored by a group of young Cologne gallery owners in the '80s who gave him a first -class introduction to the art world. Art and architecture are his real loves and the rest of Taschen's titles spin off from there. He wanted to make art available to the masses because he couldn't afford art books when he was younger.” - Jim Heimann, Executive Editor for Taschen America, Los Angeles publishing arm. Starting in the 1920s, inventive entrepreneurs began creating attention-grabbing buildings to appeal to passing drivers and while they were initially dismissed as monstrous, their appeal has endured. In Jim Heimann’s new book, California Crazy, a collection of essays accompanies images of the wildest examples. Owls, dinosaurs, coffee-pots, and even a Mexican giant serving nachos and beer - American pop architecture reached its peak on the West Coast and is now celebrated in a book named ‘California Crazy’. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #taschen #book #californiacrazy #architecture #novelty #popculture #westcoast #roadsidearchitecture #innovative #kitsch #jimheimann (at California)

Flickering out: fans fight to preserve the last vintage electrified signs

Enthusiast are pushing to have classic 20th century roadside signs across the US recognised as valuable parts of urban architectural history

They are garish, faded relics of a time gone by: the towering electrified signs signalling motels, diners, stores and bowling alleys that sprang up across the US in the 20th century.

As car culture boomed, brightly lit signs became the advertising method of choice for roadside businesses, with bold colours and cartoon-like graphics competing to grab the attention of passing drivers.

Stephen's Meat Products was founded during the Depression. The Montgomery Street building went up in 1948 and the sign, with its eye-catching animated neon pig, arrived in the 1950's. -Location: 105 S.
