Outside of downtown Memphis is the massive Sears Roebuck warehouse.
The sign on the top of the tower must been a huge beacon of neon light
as it glowed during the golden age of art deco. Unfortunately it has seen
better days. I spoke to a caretaker and he informed me it was no longer
being used for its original purpose and mostly abandoned. Its surrounding
neighborhood has also seen better days. Hopefully it won't see the wrecker's
dynamite any time soon.

Check out this Planters Peanuts factory out in Virginia. A good
example of an interesting relic found alongside the roadside. This one
is circa 1985.

Here are the Geodesic Domes of Knoxville, Tennessee. Looking like
something straight out of the atomic age, the Geodesic dome is a real
eye-catcher.
