"By the mid-1950s, record companies released the majority of rhythm-and-blues and rock ‘n’ roll songs as 45-rpm singles. To promote record sales, RCA Victor introduced an affordable line of 45-rpm record players. Marketed towards teenagers and young adults, these portable devices allowed for the playback of popular records in bedrooms and away from the living room, out of earshot from prying parents. The extended-play 45, or EP, was released in 1951. EPs featured slanted record grooves as opposed to the vertical grooves in a standard 45, allowing for almost 8 minutes of playing time, or two normal-length pop songs, per side.

"Mid-century radios were available in a variety of bold shapes and angular designs. As new technologies allowed for increasingly compact and affordable sets, radios were advertised for every room of the house. For the first time, radios made their way into bedrooms and morning routines with the introduction of combination alarm clock sets. By the end of the decade, tiny, electrical transistors started to replace vacuum tubes, and radios became even more portable. Some radios even pioneered alternative power sources, such as the solar- and battery-powered Hoffman Trans-Solar hybrid-portable.

"Modern entertaining called for contemporary and expressive dinnerware. In 1954, two California-based manufacturers introduced a selection of progressive earthenware lines. The quintessentially modern Starburst design was a transfer-printed pattern created to decorate George James’ (1921–2003) futuristic line of Eclipse dinnerware for Franciscan. Around the same time, Metlox added the California Mobile series to their Poppytrail earthenware. Designed by Frank Irwin (1922–2002), California Mobile was a decal pattern applied to Metlox’ Freeform range of sculpturally squared plates and boomerang-shaped dishes.

"Television quickly surpassed radio as the most popular media in the United States during the 1950s. At the beginning of the decade, approximately one in ten households owned a television. By 1960, at least one TV set was installed in nearly ninety percent of American homes. Portable TV sets brought television to a wider audience. Compact and more affordable than heavier, full-size models, portable televisions could be transported to various rooms of the home with relative ease. In the mid-1950s, personal portable sets incorporated miniature tubes and became even smaller—however, they still required household voltage to operate.

Found this little gem in Triennale of Milano bookshop. Lots of examples of an aesthetic (mid-century modern) that I always loved, and reminds me of many books and other graphical artifacts I enjoyed at my grandparents' house when I was little (the two facts are probably related 😊).

A hand-cut paper collage displayed against a pink work mat. The collage background is printed with abstract designs of blue acrylic paint. In the foreground is a vintage image of a person standing on the balcony of a building and holding the string of what appears to be a white weather balloon. Printed letters at the bottom of the collage read "Report From Vienna" all in capital letters.

Road trippin' and found Nicely's diner (1965) in Lee Vining, CA. They make a mean BLT and fries. The adjacent Sierra Lounge is looker as well.

Nicely's diner vintage sign. Against a blue sky is the 1965-style multi-colored stacked sign on a pointy pole. Nicely's at the top in white oval, Restaurant in bright yellow rectangle, Pancakes in pink, Sandwiched in red, Salads in blue, Steaks in green, Lounge in white oval. Breakfast, lunch dinner. Classic fried chicken. Homemade sausage. Open 7 am to 3 pm.

Interior of Nicely's diner. Faux woodgrain laminate tables and maroon Naugahyde booths and seats.

The Sierra Room cocktail lounge inside Nicely's diner. Walls are covered in vintage faux wood paneling. The front of long bar and the bar stools are upholstered in black Naugahyde. Vintage beers signs on the wall and part of the green felted pool table in the foreground. Super swank.

The exterior of Nicely's diner along the roadside.

Oh man, I had to skip the urbex parts of this video because it was making me really depressed. The writing's been on the wall for this place for a while. But I can still be sad about it.

Too bad The Sports Center bar was closed because the interior looked preserved in time. #SignGeek #SignJunkie #Midcentury #SaveTheSigns

Storefront with large red neon block letters that spell "SPORTS". Above that a sign juts out over the sidewalk that says "restaurant cigars". Above that, a neon man dressed in hunting gear aims a rifle into the air.

The sign for the Terrace Motel. It is in a mid-century style, with "Terrace" arranged vertically in yellow, sans serif type. The bottom of "Terrace" overlaps a read, irregular polygon that has "Motel" spelled out in yellow letters. The sign is topped by a large, yellow star.
