I'm a sucker for #Signs in general, especially #MidcenturyModern #Vintage signs. #SignSpotting a couple of months ago and found The Tropicale, in #Downtown #PalmSprings

"Tropicale" sign in turquoise script, tilted at angle from low to high, left to right, against a bright pink stucco wall. Below the sign is a bright green trimmed hedge.

Backlit sign attached to a pinkish stucco building that says "Bachelors Flat" in a very swanky, 1960s style teal font.

The Igloo in Wenatchee, Washington, has been locally owned and operated by three generations of the same family since 1944. It's a dive bar known for pull tabs (gambling) and cold drinks. Couldn't resist stopping for a cocktail in there. #DiveBar #Retro #VintageSign #Midcentury #MidcenturyModern #Signgeek #SignJunkie #Washingon

A retro midcentury sign against a blue sky with a large yellow line swooping downward in an s-shape with an arrow at its end pointing leftward. Toward the top of the line is a turquoise blue oval that says "the Igloo." Further down is a red rectangle that says "Meet your friends at the Igloo." Beneath the arrow is a another sign that says "$500 pulltabs. Save gas. Play here. Sunny FM 939."

The Corner Club, established in 1948, is a dive bar in Moscow, Idaho. Its classic midcentury neon sign still calls you in to have a cold one.

Classic midcentury neon sign against a blue sky with white fluffy clouds. The sign is black, with yellow neon block letters that say Corner Club. There is a backwards J-shaped neon piece to the right.

Roto-sphere "Sputnik" sign at Joe's Liquors in Memphis, TN. According to the Roadside Architecture website, "Roto-Sphere signs are perhaps the biggest and most dramatic neon signs ever mass-produced. They were created and produced by Warren Milks from 1960-1971. Milks made approximately 234 of them at his sign shop in Bossier City, LA. Only about 20 Roto-Spheres are left. Of these, only four are fully operational (Memphis, Lakeland, Whiteland, and Salt Lake City). Only 9 are still on public display...Not only does the sign rotate on its pole, but the ball itself is composed of two counter-rotating hemispheres."

I took this photo in 2016 on my trip to Memphis to visit family and to attend Gonerfest 13, a punk rock/garage rock music festival run by Goner Records.

The Salton Sea, a shallow, toxic, landlocked, highly saline body of water southeast of Palm Springs, is beautiful in a sort of environmental disaster, midcentury ghost town, artsy squatters village sort of way. In the 1950s and 1960s, its shores hosted resort destinations, communities, hotels, and vacation homes. In the 1980s, farm runoff contaminated the sea spreading disease and killing off birds, fish, and other wildlife. Today, clouds of toxic dust and sometimes foul odors plague nearby communities and reach as far as Los Angeles. #SaltonSea #PalmSprings #California #Toxic #EnvironmentalDisaster #Vacation #Midcentury #MidcenturyModern #Signs #SignGeek #SignJunkie #Abandoned #Decay

Against a blue sky on a sunny day, old signs on an abandoned property that used to be a minimart and/or gas station. In the foreground, a tall pole supports a rectangle metal frame that used to have a lighted sign in it. Beneath that, and attached to the pole is a white sign with faded blue letters that say "Bait, Ice, Beer." In the background is another vintage midcentury modern collection of signs: an empty frame, one that says "liquor" in a cheerful, funky midcentury font, and two other signs that say "Sporting Goods" and "Bait." There is a palm tree next to the asphalt parking lot. In the distance, a tuft of green trees.
