A beautifully photographed collection of vintage roadside signs throughout Utah, including historic cafes, motels, theaters, and beyond. More than 200 original photographs depict signs from the early to mid-20th century and feature brief stories about the mostly mom-and-pop business owners. The glowing neon, quirky names, and unusual shapes are fascinating. Look for your favorites! The author enjoys wandering the state to photograph these historic treasures. "Vintage signs along the back roads and byways of Utah should be preserved because they add fun, beauty, and character to our lives," says Lisa Michele Church, a local historian. "Signs from the early 1900s reflect the creativity and vitality of long-time family businesses and the personality of our community. They are one-of-a-kind, evocative of a certain time and place." The signs include iconic spinning ice cream cones, bright neon hamburgers, giant bowling pins, dramatic theater marquees, and ghostly painted signs fading on old buildings. Browsing these vivid images, one can't help but be transported to every corner of the state for a roadside peek at history!
