Everywhere The Signs
Last week's 2011 Doughty 500 was based in the bustling metropolis of Merrill, Wisconsin. Merrill is a town of about 10,000 souls that straddles the Wisconsin River in the north-central part of the state. Jay and I only really had one day to poke around the town, but we were pleasantly surprised to find a number of architectural items of interest including some vintage signage.
While the Lincoln Lanes building has been updated in recent years, you can see that it once had a classic modern look.
The theater features more of an Art Deco appearance with the font.
And the sleek tiled wall in front front.
This was one of Jay's favorite signs.
For my money, the Chip's drive-in logo is hard to top.
No matter where you go there's almost always something interesting to see. As long as you're willing to stop and spend the time to look for it.
