Little River Motel Revisited

The problem with most of the motel-related material I have posted over the years is it doesn’t provide one a sense of what it was truly like to be there during its prime era of use.

A Change of Pace

Everybody gets worried when a long-running website makes a "special announcement" so let me say this right up front. KoHoSo.us is not going away or changing its format. However, as this post’s title infers, it is indeed time for a change of pace.

King Koin of Kelowna

This simple postcard has been one of my favorites ever since I first saw it about six years ago. There’s something about these nighttime photos of businesses with nobody around that, for whatever odd reason, give me feelings of great comfort. I can almost smell the fabric softener in the night air.

As Little as $5.00 Per Month

This is also one of my top five favorite ads I have ever seen since I began seriously collecting them in 2011. To me, that is as perfect of a 1950’s female face illustration as I’ve ever seen.

Just a Reminder

Upon finding this photograph, I realized it was a good time to once again post my reminder about all the retro/vintage/Americana material on this website.

Notes from the PD No. 10 – A New Road

The past many weeks have been such a whirlwind with both work and getting KoHoSo Radio 66 up to full speed that it is only now I have had a moment to sit down and write about getting my oldies station back online.

Triple Treat

It is not only the ravages of time, vandalism, lack of money, and overzealous planning commissions that endanger North America’s remaining neon signs.

Goodbye, Klappersacks

The photograph above was the first post ever made by "klappersacks" on Tumblr. As something he found on the Library of Congress website, it is the source of his best-known online name.

I Have Decided to Stick with Love

Over the past several days, I have tried many times to not only make a decision regarding my existence as an online curator of retro/vintage/Americana material but to also explain that decision.
