Future personal photo project: On the way to Bishop are several small towns. Small small. Sometime, we’re going to take a trip up to Bishop and stop at all the small towns so I can take pics of the motel signs. There are a lot more than you would expect in a town that size (although, it is near Mammoth and Mt. Whitney). Plus the vast majority are very vintage. Very 1950s or ‘60s. and I LOVE them.
I guess this is the only movie theater in town, and they only get 2 movies at a time … which is completely ludicrous to someone like me who has only ever lived in the city …
my favorite …
Next time we’ll get drinks at McMurry’s bar and the go to the movie theatre.
grew up in Bishop and while, yes, that is the only theater, and, yes, there are only 2 movies at one time (and they often don’t’ changes for weeks) the sign isn’t vintage 50s. In fact my Dad built the movie theater addition in the 80s. Bishop is a very small, kind of oldish town but mostly it’s very dedicated to *seeming* like an old town.
Great sign pictures all the same
