An ongoing project with new signs added dailyāall photographed by myself, during my 10 years of remote work/live travel around the globe.
Read more about that, here.
I try to include some story or the history behind the sign but there is usually nothing documented so sometimes I let my imagination run wild and make it up.

UTAH
Weāre at photos 78-82 in the #AroundTheWorldIn100Signs archive and this batch is from other-worldly Utah. šŖšøš½
I nipped to #Utah whilst in Colorado for the summer of 2017 (I think).
Most of these photos are from an area that was to be demolished to make way for the railroad.
I spied the motel while returning to the airport and jumped out to photograph it.
As a result, I nearly missed my flight but am happy that I did as the whole area will now be long gone.
(78) No Vacancy at the āOverniter Motelā with a neon-lit suitcase forming the top part of the sign.

(79) Just in case you still didn't know where you were, a couple more neon-lit āMotelā signs, this time on top of the building.


(80) Diamond Lilās āAbandoned bar and āRed Garterā Dining Room.

ZURICH
This sign is from the home of Dada: Cabaret Voltaire 1916, Zurich.
#Dada was a response to the carnage of the First World War, rejecting Old Europeās ācivilisedā values and traditions; its authority, violence, nationalism and #capitalist society.
Instead, Dada was in favour of left-wing politics, nonsense, satire, gobbledegook-poetry words, collage, funny outfits and rollicking good times at performances and happenings around the world.
It all started here.
A new #modernist philosophy, the #avant-garde, the underground, the #artist as theorist, DIY-culture, #anarchy in art and art in anarchy.
#Sign number 69 is now in the #AroundTheWorldin100Signs blog.
