Mark your calendars. On June 23, the American Sign Museum begins full five-days-a-week operation at its new bigger and taller location just a few blocks from Camp Washington Chili. There were previews on Friday & Saturday and I assure you that seeing an entire Mail Pouch barn side in a museum is not the same as seeing pictures. I’ve created an Oddment page for those previews and this blog entry simply points to that page and provides a place for comments.
This way to the Oddment.
Was that the El Rancho Motel sign out front from 66?
Great to see they have the new place, I was really impressed when we went there on the American Road trip.
No. Apparently that came from DeSoto, Kansas. El Rancho is probably a fairly common name for motels. I remember that Cincinnati used to have a place called El Rancho Rankin.
You’ll have to get back here to see the new museum once it gets things going smoothly. It’s now close to Camp Washington Chili.
Dang, now I have to schedule a trip to Cincinnati!
An easy day trip. Just exit the Dandy Trail at US-52 and head east. I’m guessing your boys would even enjoy much of it although some healthy nostalgia does help.
Denny, the narrative, links, and images are wonderful. Only… I couldn’t get your last link – ‘this sucker’ – to work. I have a pretty good idea what it’s of (did I do good on its placement?), but hope you’ll be able to fix the link. And I hope you’ll continue to chronicle all our milestones. Thanks for a great job.
Oops! Looks like my proofreading staff has been slacking off. Thanks for the alert. The correction has been made.
Your placement was fantastic — clearly much better than mine — and better than I could reasonably hope for even after your hints. Sorry I didn’t get to say hi over the weekend. I believe that the only time I saw you was when Tod pointed you out from the podium. My fault for not making more of an effort. I know there will be more milestones but this one was huge. I think Cincinnati may be starting to realize what it’s got here.
I hope you’re right. Catch you next time!
Thanks, Denny, for docuementing the sneak preview and promoting our new digs. Great photos! . . . and a very cool message on your paver. Others will just have to come and see for themselves. Thanks again . . .
