The "world famous" Sultana Saloon was founded in 1906. For more, see this website.

Turquoise Tepee sells Indian jewelry. I don't know if this is the original business or name.

The Gateway Motel neon sign features a two-part animated wedge arrow. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Twisters
Soda Fountain

Twisters Soda Fountain is decorated in a 1950s style. I think this sign might be fairly new. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

Rod's Steak House opened in 1946. Their sign features "Domino" the steer. The restaurant features Domino-shaped menus. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Stagecoach 66 Motel
Seligman, AZ
Copper Cart Restaurant
Seligman, AZ
Supai Motel
Seligman, AZ
Frontier Motel & Cafe
Truxton, AZ

The Stagecoach 66 Motel and the Copper Cart Restaurant look like they have been here since the 1950s or so.

The Supai Motel sign was recently restored. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

The Frontier Motel & Cafe was built in 1951. The sign was restored in 2002. For more, see this website.

ABC Buffet
Kingman, AZ
Hill Top Motel
Kingman, AZ
Lo's Chinese
American Food
Kingman, AZ
Arcadia Lodge
Kingman, AZ

The ABC Buffet has a reworked sign and was probably named something else originally. The Uptown Drug mortar and pestle shaped sign lurks in the background.

The Hill Top Motel has been here since at least the 1950s. Their sign with cheese holes looks like it has been recently restored. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. [night photo thanks Glenda Campbell]

Lo's Chinese American Food has a nicely-preserved neon sign.

I believe the Arcadia Lodge has been here since the 1930s when it was known as the Arcadia Court. This sign looks like it from the 1950s. It also features the same yellow ball on top as the Lo's sign. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

Yuma Cabana Motel
Yuma, AZ
Hacienda Motel
Yuma, AZ
Tropicana Motel
Yuma, AZ
Melody Cleaners
Yuma, AZ

The Yuma Cabana Motel sign is lit at night. The motel also features a kidney-shaped pool. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4.

The Hacienda Motel and Tropicana Motel signs are also lit at night. For more, see these websits: 1 and 2.

Melody Cleaners features a colorful and intact sign and storefront. It appears that the top part of the sign revolved. They weren't open when I was there so I don't know if it still does.
