Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
If you have a hankering for nostalgia, then head on over to the Casa Grande Neon Sign Park. This retro place in Arizona is home to more than a dozen vintage and neon signs that will whisk you back to a bygone era when life was still simple. Just wait until you see the signs all lit up after dark!
Dedicated in 2019, the Casa Grande Neon Sign Park features 14 vintage signs that have been painstakingly restored to mint condition. Park visitors get the rare and unique opportunity to step back in time and immerse themselves in iconic symbols of yesteryear.
Each sign has a fascinating backstory - for example, these Dairy Queen drive-thru "enter" and "exit" cones (and iconic "lips" sign) came from a Dairy Queen along Route 66 in Holbrook!
You'll also see signs for Coxon's Building Materials (which has been in continuous operation for over 100 years!), Goddard Shoe Store, the Horse Shoe Motel, Valley National Park, and more.
Have you ever been to this retro place in Arizona? If so, we’d love to hear all about your experience in the comments! Don’t forget to check out our previous article to learn about a set of abandoned domes in Casa Grande that are eerily fascinating.
