Texaco Sign



This little rustic building always catches my eye as I drive by. Love the old sign and the red tin roof :)

    Also like the old sign and the colours/shades of the old wooden wall.
    Have a nice weekend too! :-)

    I just found your blog on Skywatch Friday. It is most interesting, having spent most of my life in the Roanoke Valley. I see many places that bring memories.

    It's definitely pleasing to look at those mellow colours

    The sad part is I remember those Texaco signs well. I guess my age is showing. ;)

    Remember the old Texaco jingle?

    "You can trust your car to the man who wears the star...the Texaco star."

    Strangely we had that Texaco sign in the UK when I was a child.

    It's fun to photograph old buildings Tanya. I like to photograph derilect houses. We have some still standing on farms where the farmers have built a new house and use the old one to store hay and farm implements. Sometimes cows or sheep might get into them too. - Dave

    Jim, I don't know what it's used for right now. I finally pulled in to take a picture and wouldn't you know at the same time a big trailer pulled in and blocked me. I'll have to go one day this week and find out. It would be perfect if it was an antique store :)

    Thanks everyone for stopping by!
