Imagine how many stories… joyous, sad, terrifying, comforting, harrowing… a great photo and quote!
Always good to be reminded of that. Blessings abound
blue highways, huh? vacancy indeed. not even an optionally illuminated. ”NO”.
Now THIS is a prime example of how a picture is definitely worth a thousand words, isn’t it? Fabulous!!! ~ Jeanne
cool old sign. love that worn out paint and the rust. makes an interesting subject.
What a great sign!!
Someone should write up the stories….bet there are a thousand…no, ten thousand.
Wonderful! Please visit my site…lots of photos of Massanutten and, of course, my kids. Come to the Shen Valley and you will have a wide variety of shots to take for weeks!

how about joining flickr? it’s free to post pics there. i have an account but don’t use it a whole lot, but i’m just too busy to post anywhere else but here.
Indeed.

Sooooo, it makes me curious to know if there is a Dad’s Diner?
Excellent – I love the retro design of the sign, and you’ll never find a better name for a motel.
Besides, the wear of years of neglect give it a very interesting new aspect that kinda clashes with the very idea the sign’s trying to get across. Freakin excellent, thanks for posting it!
I love signs like this. There used to be one along I-81 that said “DINER” but it has since been torn down. I miss driving past it.
what a great find… i have a thing for old signs of this sort.
i like MlleRobillards comment.. if only walls could talk.
be well,

It’s too bad all the neon is broken. What a sight it must have been when new! I love the old highways with their retro signs, old “motor courts”, and diners. It takes me back to my childhood.
As for the quote, it does go well with the image. Stories, all in memories in our heads.
