In Tucson, Arizona, preservationists created a neon project to save signs that once beckoned motorists into the cool "air refrigeration" of motels and restaurants along Miracle Mile. Since I've been here, my "hobby" is photographing and sharing the signs on Instagram (@retroranch). While many have been restored and/or relocated as part of the local project, there are still opportunities to find Tucson neon "in the wild."
The Tucson Airport control tower has been a neon beacon welcoming visitors since the late 1950s. I was surprised to see a new tower going up as I arrived this Summer, but progress marches forward. The good news is that the old tower will be preserved. Whether a journey near or far, that feeling of having made it "home" starts when I see the Tucson tower.
These are a few of my favorite things, day or night.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Joe Pinzone and I'm casting an international travel show about expats moving abroad. We'd love to film in Austria and wanted to know if you could help us find expats who have moved there within the last 15 months or have been there for 3-4 years, but recently moved into a new home. The show documents their move to a new country and will place the country in fabulous light. The contributors on the show would also receive monetary compensation if they are filmed. If you'd like more information, please give me a call at 212-231-7716 or skype me at joefromnyc. You can also email me at joepinzone@leopardusa.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.
