Thanks for Visiting!

I've noticed that a few people are actually visiting the site these days. Much thanks to Michael Bates of Batesline for helping get the word out. It's hard to get things started from scratch, so little word of mouth goes a long way.

Thanks to everyone for their comments. I am no expert historian, so I really appreciate any additional info you can add to any of these entries. Also, if you click on each entries header pic, it will take you to a gallery of photos related to that particular location.

One suggestion for Tulsa signage was the neon Donut sign at 31st and Yale. I have this one in the Signage Pt. 1 gallery, showing both day and nighttime shots (I love the way it just lights up "NUTS" at night). The Sheridan Lanes animated GIF was a much more ambitious project than I expected. I used a very old 1.3mp digital camera that had about a 30 second delay between the time you pressed the shutter and when it actually took the shot. I stood out there one night for nearly an hour trying to get all possible combinations of the neon. If you look closely, you'll see the moon in the background "setting" as time elapses. In addition to that, I had taken these shots in landscape mode, so I had to consistently crop each pic to create the animation. Next time, I'm just going to use a video camera! heheh.

Anyway...now that I have actual visitors dropping by, I'll get pack to posting some new entries. Take care!
