A second vividly 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. In this second volume she focuses on sign preservation, including outstanding efforts in the communities of Helper, Ogden, and Sugar House. "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 build the maps that live inside our heads. They contribute to our collective memory of community." Browsing these beautiful images, one can't help but be transported to every corner of the state for a roadside peek at history!
