While driving and logging many miles on the Jeep , you will notice in these small
cow poke towns that a little piece of googie mid century history has been left behind,
perhaps to remind us of our cool architectural past ,or maybe because they were too
expensive to remove .Many Cool googies signs are still in existence and are around
and lite up, however every one that I have photographed were not in use for many
years and all businesses were closed except for one motel.A real sad sight to see .
Here are just a few I shot while driving thru towns like- Pixley ,Bakersfield ,
Merced, Fresno , Stockton etc.There are probably a few I missed along the way.
Stayed tuned I have a good story about me exploring inside the old Islander
building in Stockton .
