  1. And btw, 🖕 to #GoogIe for letting this through their spam filters despite so many obvious red flags, but rejecting my email as junk coz I run my own email server and don't have a DKIM record.

  2. @harrymccracken sfneon had a nice presentation with the author walking through some collection drawings in his book, which doesn’t seem to be online now, but was similar to this one with LA conservancy. enjoyable! youtu.be/McJPCE2k6bY?si=6F6QX3 #googie #architecture #midcenturymodern

  3. I think it sucks Raising Cane's plans to push Norms out of their own iconic building even though Norms is still doing business.

    Norms, the iconic Los Angeles diner chain, may see one of its most famous locations get turned into a fast food spot, Raising Cane's.

    Very long day. But here is my cat illustration. It’s based on an illustration I did a while ago for SimsNetwork. I have redrawn the whole thing today. So it is merely inspired on it. But I figured I should mention that.

  8. My #Day11 retro attempt for the #30DayMapChallenge. Focusing on the Googie-style architecture of three buildings: the Saarinen Terminal, The Theme Building, and the Trans World Flight Center.

    From Wikipedia - it is a type of futurist architecture influenced by car culture, jets, the Atomic Age and the Space Age.

  9. Maybe your post should have more characters in what you say, than in #Hashtags?

    The wall of hashtags is why I never really liked Instagram, it's like one of those strips where all the secondhand car yards are, without the Los Vegas #Googie kitch.

  10. Wake up and see the coffee! I’m riding alongside the wonderful Randall Ann Homan for a virtual road trip of coffee shop neon in California. It’s part of the online Neon Speaks festival on Sep 16. Register for free: eventbrite.com/e/neon-typograp

    Pictured: Courtesy Coffee Shop in Blythe, CA at the Arizona border. The shop opened in 1964 and featured a rotating pole sign and boomerang roof. I shot this in 2022.

  11. We just ate at a breakfast joint that was dripping with #googie / #populuxe aesthetic. I am totally here for this #retro look. The food was good, too.

  12. Not my photos. Obviously.

    Fell down an internet rabbit hole and ended up here at the Vintage Pool Party group on Flickr dedicated to vintage swimming pool imagery from the 1930s to 1980s. It's mostly from 50s and 60s American motel postcards and I love this design aesthetic that includes lots of great examples of Googie architecture with its then-futuristic style.
