KoHoSo: Sierra Liquor of Fontana

Sierra Liquor - 8058 Sierra Avenue., Fontana, California - April 23, 2008Credit unknownJust this past February, this long standing liquor store located just north of old Route 66 was completely removed with no trace remaining. I see no reports of whether or not the signs were saved.

KoHoSo: Whiting Brothers Motel of Yucca

Whiting Brothers Motel - Yucca, Arizona - April 22, 2007Credit unknownThis sign along with one for the accompanying Whiting Brothers filling station sat at this exit off Interstate 40 (also a later routing of old Route 66) for many years after the buildings were torn down, making them a popular spot for photographers looking to capture a stark piece of abandoned Americana. All the signs are now gone and have reportedly been taken to museums.

KoHoSo: Premiere Motel

Premiere Motel3820 Central Avenue SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico - April 20, 2008Credit unknownThis old Route 66 motel has now been converted into apartments. The main sign remains, but the older one on the right has been "updated" with a more modern, boring sign giving the street address and website of the management company.
