STOP, FAKE! (Rt 66 Amarillo TX)

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:30:15 GMT

]]>Whatever had to be stopped has been thoroughly obliterated by several coats of paint and graffiti. And just in case you happened to see whatever it was--it was FAKE!

(He probably means "false" instead of "fake" but right now would not be a good time to point this out.)

FAKE! would make an interesting type font. It would have capital letters only--paint spatters and all.

FAKE 2-STORY STOREFRONT (Rt 66 St. Robert MO)

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:33:10 GMT

]]>This facade appears to cosmetically link small unrelated buildings into a sort of mini-shopping center.

A note to the Cap'n: No apostrophe is needed in "Things."

LA CITA SIGN (Rt 66 Tucumcari NM)

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:41:45 GMT

]]>The burnt-out bulbs and scrambled signboard letters at bottom tell a story of hard times. The building housing this former restaurant is now a flower and gift shop.

HAWKINS (Rt 66 Cuervo NM)

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:04:02 GMT

]]>Hand-scrawled lettering appears at the upper left and "Cuervo" is misspelled. This ruin was a store or business of some type, judging by the double-door frame.

The fake stone blocks are actually embossed sheet-metal held on with nails. The building appears to rest on just one foundation block. In reality others are at the sides--one is just barely visible at the right.

BIG MISTAKE (Rt 66 Bloomington IL)

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:36:32 GMT

]]>Way up there, painted in capital letters, is a mistake that was covered up for decades. The word BARRELS now appears in its original form--either BARRLLS or perhaps BARRLES.

Repainting that turned that first L into an E has been erased by time. Some black "shadowing" is clearly visible. Plus you can still see where extra white paint was "feathered" onto the main shaft of the letter.

The next letter to the right may also have been altered--the evidence isn't conclusive.

The image "This is It!" offers a wider view of this scene.
