2025.  I just got back from a five-week trip (6/5-7/9 ) to Illinois and Indiana.  I also covered Louisville and Cincinnati.  As usual on these trips, every night while on the road, I posted a small sampling of photos taken that day at Instagram.

Now that I’m home,  I will start adding the roughly 5,500 photos from this trip to my website.  After inserting each day’s batch at my site, I also post a sampling of about a dozen photos from each day’s shooting here at my blog and some other photos to Flickr.

2026.  Tentative plans for this five-week summer trip: Tennessee, Kentucky, and some northern Alabama.

Annual Winter Projects. I comb my website for dead external links, and the map links to see what’s changed (repainted, demolished, etc.) and update the descriptions throughout the more than 3,500 webpages.  I post to this blog with some of these good news/bad news discoveries.

For more detailed updates about my website & other stuff, check out the What’s New  page at my website.

If you’re into signs, you might enjoy my book “Vintage Signs of America” which was published in 2018.  You can buy it at Amazon and other online book stores.

My website (roadarch.com) has been my focus for more than 25 years now.  This blog is meant as a much smaller-scale companion which includes many places/things not “worthy” of my website.
