Matchbook Vending Machine, Valley Relics Museum, Van Nuys, California

We finally made it over to the Valley Relics Museum (https://valleyrelicsmuseum.org/), even though it is just “up the street” from where we live. There were a lot of great artifacts including a huge neon sign collection. Check it out when you are at a loss for something to do in the San Fernando Valley.

Collecting these small keepsakes can help keep the places you love alive.

"With their slogans, doodles, aphorisms and inside jokes, matchbooks are objects of beauty that evoke an establishment’s singular character. Looking at one can trigger the din of a specific night out or a snippet of conversation, even the hours spent alone."
