Competing for your attention as you travel down the highway are signs
of every sort; some advertising lodging, others a roadside attraction,
and many more advertising places to eat. Here is one such sign... this
one found off of Route 66 in Claremore, OK.

Check out this fantastic rooftop sign for the Meadow Gold in Tulsa, OK.
This is one sign that could literally be seen for blocks.
However, this 1934 era sign will be removed soon if it hasn't been already.
Word was that the owners were to donate it to a preservation group. See Preservation Alley's latest on the Meadow
Gold.
Check out the googie marquee for the Skateland in Shawnee,
OK. The marquee itself features different shapes as well as eye-catching
mid-century colors. It's always great to see an old time skating rink
surviving the times.
