Before I move on with the next batch of the Bay Area photos, I nearly forgot that I set these photos aside for a post.  Just some stuff close to home.

From Summerland — Sandpiper Liquors:

Next to the liquor store is this curious former phone booth with beach rocks.  Beach shrine?  Don’t know…

Next to the baseball stadium at UC Santa Barbara — about five feet in diameter:

From Goleta:

From Paso Robles:

From California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks  — barrel vaults galore:

From a little L.A. trip — a a tiki peaked office and striking paint job:

The West Hollywood replica diver (built before the one at MONA in Glendale) sign has returned!  The story of these divers at my website about halfway down this page:

This “Hotel Californian” sign has also miraculously been restored and reinstalled.  Here’s my photo from 2008 where it sat for many years:

and from a couple weeks ago:

A couple of signs from Buellton:

And, lastly, from Paso Robles:

Okay — back to cropping & prep-ing the Bay Area North stuff.  Stay tuned.
