Just a little RIT (school I just graduated from) reference from afew days ago on Design Observer. Hollaaa…

Excerpt from Rick Poyner’s, “Lost America: The Flamingo Motor Hotel“:

“I could find very few references to Andy Womack’s Flamingo Motor Hotel on the Internet, though one text about a prominent Flagstaff family furnished a link to the picture above. It was taken in 1989 by Chris O’Meally, a San Diego photographer… O’Meally, then a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology, was spending a semester at Northern Arizona University. “I always loved the sign as it was a quintessential Route 66 icon,” he told me. “I took the picture while waiting to meet some friends at a bar across the street. I’m glad they kept me waiting that night as, 20 years later, I have a print of the image hanging in my house.’ “
