Like bowling alleys, old theaters also tend to have cool, vintage signs. But theatre signs tend to be even more vintage than the ones you find at bowling alleys, often by several decades by the look of them!
vintage road signs
Federhofer’s Bakery
I went looking for the Concord Bowl sign, because I had seen a picture of it, and I knew it was cool. On the way there, I stumbled across this equally cool (if not cooler!) sign for Federhofer’s Bakery. I know I must have driven by the bakery before, but I somehow failed to notice the sign. I’m glad I fixed that, because it’s gloriously vintage!
Concord Bowl
Bowling alleys have the best vintage signs. This one in south St. Louis is a little worse for the wear, but it still screams “retro!”
Tivoli Theatre
Another cool vintage sign on the Delmar Loop!
Belle Meade Theatre
When we were in Nashville two weeks ago, we happened by this amazing sign for the former Belle Meade Theatre. This isn’t the best picture of it, but it certainly is gloriously vintage!
Moonrise and Eclipse
In honor of the “Great American Eclipse” tomorrow, I’m sharing my favorite vintage style sign on the Delmar Loop, belonging to the Moonrise Hotel and Eclipse Restaurant, which is conveniently located by “The Sun” on the Delmar Loop Planet Walk!
The Pageant
Seriously, if you’re looking for a vintage (or vintage inspired) sign, the Delmar Loop is the place to be!
Blueberry Hill
I don’t actually know how old this sign is, but between its appearance and the subject matter, it counts as a vintage sign to me!
Pin-Up Bowl
This bowling alley may not be truly vintage, but the sign is still exactly what I love to see!
Crestwood Bowl
Seriously, what is it with bowling alleys and vintage signs?!?
