These are all of comments I've made about all the beautiful Kitsch in the Kitschenette Wing of the AWMoK:


 

Sleep in a WigWam? you need reservations!

  1. signcollector says:

    No didn't get to stay as we did not have a reservation, but just down the street was a fine place for $38 a night!

  2. signcollector says:

    don't know about the inside as we did not have a reservation so were unable to stay there.

Shopping anyone?

  1. signcollector says:

    No neon on this baby. Holbrook is the "gateway" for the Petrified forest so rocks are a big deal. This trading post sold all manner of souvenir, Native American crafts/art/jewelry all the standard truck-stop-tourist junk as well. Can you imagine what a sign company would charge to make and install this thing today?

Remember When…from Snowflake AZ

  1. signcollector says:

    Snowflake Arizona. Site of one of the newest Mormon Temples, an historic home of a relative of the originator of the religion, with an explanatory plaque about how he took something like 5, or six wives "in the service of the church"- What a guy!

    So...it is a town kind of like driving through 1956! There is however a small health-food store with attached cafe which sells and serves some great goat cheese stuff from a nearby goat dairy.

    Hippies, survivalists, some Mormons, a few random rednecks- and there you go! Nobody sees any need to change the cold-war era playground equip!

Road trip!!!! Holbrook AZ Rte 66

  1. signcollector says:

    Yeah, we looked inside and got THAT FEELING...you know the one.

  2. signcollector says:

    Well...take 40 East to Holbrook AZ, turn north on the main road, after 1/4 mi look left!

  3. signcollector says:

    This trading post is closed but for sale! Still lots of cool stuff inside, I think i have another pic of large katchina sign at the store. this one was on a post about 60 ft up, the sign about 12 ft across. The end of an era...
