Roto-sphere "Sputnik" sign at Joe's Liquors in Memphis, TN. According to the Roadside Architecture website, "Roto-Sphere signs are perhaps the biggest and most dramatic neon signs ever mass-produced. They were created and produced by Warren Milks from 1960-1971. Milks made approximately 234 of them at his sign shop in Bossier City, LA. Only about 20 Roto-Spheres are left. Of these, only four are fully operational (Memphis, Lakeland, Whiteland, and Salt Lake City). Only 9 are still on public display...Not only does the sign rotate on its pole, but the ball itself is composed of two counter-rotating hemispheres."

I took this photo in 2016 on my trip to Memphis to visit family and to attend Gonerfest 13, a punk rock/garage rock music festival run by Goner Records.

Roto-sphere neon sign against a blue sky. The sign has a large central sphere with large neon spikes radiating from it. Below the sphere is a large yellow neon arrow pointing right, and below that is a digital readerboard that says "Gonerfest XIII", Memphis, TN, September 29 to October 2.

@ihazrabies Was in Brussels back in September, and although it wasn't strictly a sign spotting trip, I snapped a few that can be seen at the end of this post: bl.ag/sign-painting-in-the-sun

These definitely aren't the best the city has to offer, but you'll see lots wherever you go.

Every time I go past this drive-thru window at a local Burger King, it just strikes me as funny. It doesn't say, "Continue to other window," or "Please pay at next window," or anything like that.

It just says, "The other window."

But if this is "the other window," then shouldn't I have driven past a *first* window earlier? (There is no earlier window.)

My editorial OCD is so set off by this. 😂

A fast food drive-thru window. Behind the glass, there is no cash register, no worker, and no indication that the window station is a working drive-thru station. On the left side behind the glass, there are some shelves of fast food restaurant supplies. On the right side of the glass, someone has hung a piece of paper that reads only "The Other Window."
