i didn't have a reader submission for today's curated life, but last night as we pulled into our motel in Pasadena i spotted a cool old motel sign and a little inspiration hit me, so instead of sharing a collection of things i've gathered, it's a collection of photos i've snapped over the last few years!

i love old metal signs, especially if they also happen to be neon and i can never resist photographing the really great ones when i see them.
