Say hello to the Hitching Post or else get lassoed in.

This old sign sits along the roof of this building. Not sure how old
this sign advertising Color Portrait is, but from the
looks of its tired weatherbeaten face, it looks to have been quite some
time. Not sure if this old location is still around. Seems like the old photo stores and studios have disappeared.

Welcome to the Butch Cassidy Camp in Utah and its welcome
marquee for prospective campers. If the sky is dark, just follow the neon
sign in.
Dixie Photo Shop
St. George, UT Photo and info courtesy Elgin MacMillan
Here's a shot from May, 2000 of the Dixie Photo Shop
in St. George, UT. According to a longtime business owner and neighbor
nearby, the owner of the Dixie Photo Shop was Jack Durant. By the look
of Jack's early work he must have started in about the 40's. Jack and
his wife used to live upstairs above the shop. Jack passed away in 2000
and the doors of his shop were closed at that time and left as is so everything
today is still pretty much the way it was in 2000, when this picture was
taken. Jack's wife is still living and his son owns the shop. For some
good news, the town of St. George has decided to preserve this block of
buildings and do restorations to this old part of town.
For some added information, according to Sarah, a St. George resident,
Dixie is the
town's nickname of years ago for St. George, as in "Dixieland - way
down
south" like little Dixie town.

Here's an old vintage sign outside of Chisholm's Jewelry in Lander, WY. Would be interesting to hear if the circle at the top was
once a clock.

An old and faded out sign, this marquee for Ben & Millie's
Curios in Utah looks like it has seen better days.
