Finally! The last post from this trip. Some Kansas, some Missouri, and some shots from the long drive home.

This sign in Webb City, MO might be from the 1940s:

This sign in Baxter Springs, KS had been completely painted over by 2007.

Miraculously, around 2019, the paint was removed:

The Cassville Bowl in Cassville, MO was built in 1961. I assume this sign had neon originally:

These additions to the building are probably from the 1970s:

This former Sirloin Stockade bull is in Neosho, MO:

This fiberglass Red Robe Indian is in Calumet, OK at the Cherokee Trading Post:

This directional sign from the 1950s in Neosho, MO was restored in 2019:

Otto’s Cafe in Pittsburg, KS opened in 1945 and is still operating:

Last year, the bottom of the Jim’s Steakhouse sign in Pittsburg, KS was modified. Here it is in 2010:

and now with the larger bottom panel:

This crown sign in Shell Knob, MO is at the Kings Harbor Resort. I think the place was built in 1959 so this sign might be from then:

This vitrolite ticket booth is at the former Princess Theatre in Tucumcari, NM:

This cool concrete sign is in Amarillo, TX:

And lastly, the modern replica sign at the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, NM. This is a smaller version of the original sign:

That’s a wrap then for the Midwest photos for now. I’ll be picking back up in Missouri next June. With a completely rebuilt transmission, hopefully, there will no glitches then. There are plans for Illinois and Indiana as well.

I’ll be back soon with some California photos from last month.

Happy trails,
