Signs from the past



These are images from my past. Each of these signs has been a part of the local landscape for as long as I can remember. Some of them don’t work, yet others are still, flashing there welcome and hypnotizing aura to the town folks.

Imagine if you will, a warm summer night in 1968, good friends Crusin’ around town in a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396. The Hi-Spot is getting crowded and receiving to much attention from the local peace officers. We get in the car and, after a few minutes Draggin’ State Street we find our way to Jack & Jill Bowling Alley. We go in, and engage ourselves in a game of pool our as luck may have it, a few frames of bowling!

Those were the days. We can entertain ourselves all night, and not spend more than $2.50, and that’s including gas money for the fast ride!
