Day 185 - Fourth of July

The only way to shoot fireworks well is to use a tripod, but it can be such a hassle in crowds . . . so I rested the camera on my stomach. Better, but not great.

Day 164 - Neon

This Dairy Queen in Lombard, IL had none of the current logos and wording. Instead it had a classic neon sign that looked retro but was actually vintage . . . not enough of this around today.

The Nickel Diner is where I had dinner Saturday night.

The Hotel Rosslyn is at 5th and Main, has two adjacent buildings, was designed by legendary Los Angeles architect John Parkinson, and was built in 1923.

Philippe's is one of the oldest restaurants in Los Angeles.

Day 15 - Felix Chevrolet

The sign for Felix Chevrolet, opened in 1957 by Winslow Felix, was designated as a cultural landmark by the City of Los Angeles in 2007.

Felix was friends with filmmaker Pat Sullivan, the creator of Felix the Cat, who authorized the use of the cartoon character for the dealership's sign.

Electric bills? Just wondering . . .
