Not sure if anyone else gets to be a glum chum during these dark months like Mod B does, but in case I’m not the only one, here are some fun vintage signs from our recent travels. This should hopefully give us all a lift – not just because these vintage signs are so cool to look at, but it means that shortly all of these places will have their spot on the Retro Roadmap!
George’s Coney Island Lunch – Worcester MA
Sunset Motel – Brevard NC
Termini Bakery – Philadelphia PA
Jimmy’s Quick Lunch – Hazleton PA
Wright’s Dairy-Rite – Staunton VA
Katz’s Deli – New York City NY
Stay tooned and avoid the gloom!

Oh hey, look it’s Jimmy’s on a dark, cold, and wet November night – I remember that!
See! We were all there! Witnesses and everything
Nice shots…way to glow!
Thanks Gunnar – I can always rely on you to sum it up so wittily- and speaking of glow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/modbetty/8356173894/
Oh, wow, great collection…love Jimmy’s, what a great shot!
Thanks Jen – I was psyched when I saw that sign in the dark (especially because Google Maps was wrong and sent us in the opposite direction AND we had out of town/country guests following us in a different car!)
Thanks for including the great – always great – Termini’s signage. That name…that sign…many a Saturday afternoon spent walking from our rowhome in South Philly (west of Broad Street) to the great Italian bakery (east of Broad) to pick up all manner of delish Italian pastries.
Always glad to bring back fond memories, especially for you EP! I’ll be writing soon about Termini’s – with more photos to follow.
Grazie!
Anything for you, EP
