It's AMERICAN SIGNS: FORM AND MEANING ON ROUTE 66 by Lisa Mahar. (I admit to having a bit of a personal interest in it, since I helped her with a great deal of the book). It's very interesting and well-illustrated. In it, Lisa, who is an architect, relates the Googie culture to mid-century architectural trends. The book won the award for "Best Route 66 Book" several years ago, and I was privileged to be asked to accept the award for Lisa in Tucumcari NM because she was unable to attend the ceremony. A worthwhile read! Now, I'm off to St. Louis. Hope you thaw!Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664721949113509873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-60121274611941069612009-01-15T23:49:00.000-05:002009-01-15T23:49:00.000-05:00Hi Beth,Wow ...

Once again thank you letting me pester you on a daily dose.

I'm watching the school closings (not ours yet) because they say it's too dangerous for our kids to be out in that weather. Nashville schools are closed so I bet ours will be too. Stay warm Beth. I just wish we had some of that snow to go along with it.<BR/>Hugs, JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868920753749973881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-75584230443983288092009-01-15T20:04:00.000-05:002009-01-15T20:04:00.000-05:00it will be 10 below zero by the time i leave for w...it will be 10 below zero by the time i leave for work in an hour..that is if the car starts.<BR/>I enjoy seeing your signs and reading about them.
