@lucky225.2600.blue someone was asking on Reddit if the Mojave phone number was currently down or bugged

I went to the relighting ceremony last night for the Road Runner’s Retreat off Route 66 in Chambless, CA. The sign was recently restored and relit after like 50 years or something. It was really special to see this irl. The neon was so bright against the dark Mojave sky. #NeonSigns #Route66

The Copper Cart. Seligman, AZ. 1952-2009. Currently used as a gift shop. The sign uses both neon and incandescent lighting with each side at one time containing 178 bulbs according to Route 66 Times. #Photography #Route66 #OldSigns #Arizona #NeonSigns

I wanted to stop at Grand Canyon Caverns specifically for that dinky little dinosaur that I barely caught in this photo. Once I pulled in, I got distracted by the big yellow sign and all of the other dinosaurs around the property. Was a little bummed I forgot him but there he is. #Route66

Frontier Motel & Cafe. Truxton, Arizona Opened 1950s by Alice Wright. Sold to Ray&Mildred Barker. The property closed when Ray passed away in 2011. New owner attempted to renovate, but the project stalled by 2015. The sign was renovated in 2003. #photography #streetphotography #route66 #neonsigns

The lights on the Welcome sign went rainbow yesterday for Pride month. The lights frequently change throughout the month to support various causes. I wish Clark County publicized it more because it would be neat to capture all of the patterns for an archive. Happy Pride! <3 #photography #pridemonth

Remember when Vegas was fun and Talk of the Town used swingers to advertise? There were two swings that hung from this sign and the dancers would swing on them to lure in customers. There was also a mechanical bull in the parking lot. #photography #nevada

Inspiration can take many shapes and forms. Something about the word 'princess', the decay rusting on the bottom of the sign, and the way the wind was catching the scraps that still hung on I found so irresistible. I had to pull over and admire. It's the little things in life. #nevada #photography

If you choose to visit these WILD animals, please do not: attempt to pet them, feed them, or bring your dogs (even on a leash) to the park. Bringing your dog poses a risk to both the sheep and your dog. #photography #nevada #bighornsheep #wildlifephotography

Say hi to the Boulder City Bighorns! The sheep that visit Hemenway Park are part of the River Mountain sheep herd. They have been testing positive for various strains of pneumonia since 2013. Lamb survival continues to be very low. #photography #nevada #bighornsheep #wildlifephotography

What I didn't know at the time is that the Starlite has been around since the 40's. The sign had some work done to it between April 2017 and April 2018. The structure itself looks similar, but the fonts have changed. #streetphotography #photography #nevada #neonsigns

The sign at Starlite Motel was my muse for a day back in March... until someone came out of the property & questioned me a bunch for taking pictures of it. I could tell it made them uncomfortable, which made me uncomfortable, so I left. #streetphotography #photography #nevada #neonsigns

I actually ended up buying the Selphy CP1500 and now I’m obsessed with printing every photo I’ve ever taken. It’s such a handy little tool and it makes me happy to see my art come to life in a physical form.

A red light sits upon the sign into Crystal, Nevada.. a small little place that was once known for brothels. I don't know if this sign still exists because some lady was out there destroying all of it. #nevada #photography #streetphotography

The goose used to sit on top of the Golden Goose on Fremont until Derek Stevens purchased the property and closed it down to make room for Circa. The casino operated between 1974 and 1980.

The Golden Goose statue was restored towards the end of 2019.There is a button you can press and the goose lights up and spins around. Not anymore... The last few times I have been over there, it's been broken. #nevada #lasvegas #photography #streetphotography

The bar is still a cool place to check out, and the sign is fabulous! Some of us just really like facts, and there is nothing wrong with the original story... it's an interesting part of Vegas history and doesn't need embellishing. #photography #nevada #lasvegas #streetphotography

The website for Atomic Liquors was recently referring to the establishment as the first bar... a bold lie considering the Arizona Club opened in 1906. The website was corrected last month, and maybe we can finally put this myth to rest!

shellz @shellz.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Did you know that Atomic Liquors was lying about its age? The bar was serving liquor in 1952, but it was done illegally on their rooftop deck. They petitioned the city to create the first tavern license and Atomic Liquors opened in 1954. #photography #nevada #lasvegas #streetphotography

I hope the city will save the sign and invest some money into it... or that if it comes time to remove, it will go to the neon museum.

Kelly Knievel, Evel Knievel's son, is also involved with this project along with a few other people. There is live music every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. I have not personally eaten at this establishment, but I feel like people are always saying good things about it.

Evel Pie is a pizza joint on Fremont that opened at the end of 2016. The space previously housed F. Pigalle (fondue) and Radio City Pizza. The venue is themed after Evel Knievel and set in 1979. #photography #nevada #streetphotography #lasvegas
