To the near right is the marquee for the Old West Guns store.

Milk Farm

The Milk Farm, in Dixon went out of business in 1984 and was demolished about two years ago. All that remains are the tall
sign and the smaller sign that used to sit on top of the building. It's now sitting out in a pasture across the road.

The tall sign is supposedly getting its neon redone, and will be part of some 'Milk Farm Business Complex'. What ever it is that it's turning into, it won't have short stacks or two eggs any style. At
least the sign will light up again some day.

Many thanks to Dave & Debra van Hulsteyn for photos and info on this roadside treasure.

The Fairfield Roller Rink is a throwback to the era when skating rinks were in vogue. Some, like this one still remain, though many are going to the great skate in the sky.

At the left is a good lookin' vintage sign for Arc Tel Welding in Fairfield, CA. Looks like a giant arrow that got rooted into the ground.

This shoe sign is representative of the type of roadside advertisement that used to be quite prevalent along the roadside.

Not used to having funeral chapel stuff here at Roadside Peek, but this sign was too good to miss. Looks like the parts of the marquee itself may have contained working neon back in the day.

The Western Mountaineering business took over an old sign that still had the shapes from yesteryear. Unfortunately, this sign recently came down, now destined for memory ... or the scrap heap.

The Conklin Bros sits in San Mateo, CA, advertising its carpets and rugs to traveler and local shopper alike. The marquee out front is a throwback to the era when these type of specialty shops were commonplace.
