A slight detour on our travels allowed us to captu

A slight detour on our travels allowed us to capture a sign that has long been on our must-see list. Donald’s Serva-Teria in Pratt, KS opened in the mid-1950s and still has a very cool Googie-style sign that we assume has been around for most of its existence. Having gone through a few owners over the years, the current “new and improved Serva-Teria” continues to serve the “same delicious breakfast and lunch foods” as they have since 1957. #signsunday #vintageneon #travelks #tinsheets

One of Oklahoma City’s most recognizable roadsid

One of Oklahoma City’s most recognizable roadside sights is the giant milk bottle atop a tiny building that sits in the middle of a busy road through town. The 350-square-foot triangular-shaped building was built in 1930 at a former streetcar stop on the then-alignment of Route 66 and the giant milk bottle added in 1948. Interestingly, the bottle was not an advertisement for the business in the building, but has always been rented advertising space- changing brands throughout the years, but always promoting something milk-related. Despite having been home to a number of different businesses, it has been referred to as the Milk Bottle Grocery since the bottle was added. #gotmilk #route66 #okc #roadsideamerica #travelok #tinsheets

Built in 1954 by John Hickman, who apprenticed wit

Built in 1954 by John Hickman, who apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright, the Vickers Petroleum Service Station in Haysville, KS, was the country’s first hyperbolic paraboloid or “batwing” style gas station. Sitting vacant for many years, it was one of the only buildings on the east side of Main Street to survive an EF-4 tornado in 1999, which prompted the drive to preserve the station. Now housing offices for the Haysville Chamber of Commerce, it has been beautifully restored and is well worth a detour to check out! #holygasstationbatman #roadsideamerica #travelks #tinsheets

One of our favorite highlights of Wichita was the Carrie Nation statue, where the dog of two former winemakers had a chance to pose with a memorial to the one-time leader of the temperance movement. #thankyousirmayihaveanother #roadsideamerica #bringfido #ilovewichita #theredrascal #tinsheets

Standing tall over the confluence of the Big and L

Standing tall over the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas Rivers in Downtown Wichita, KS, the 44-foot tall Keeper of the Plains statue has been keeping watch over the city since 1974. Positioned in a place between the rivers considered sacred to the Native American people, it is surrounded by a ring of fire, a group of fire pots that are lit each night for 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the lighting has been suspended for now, but the statue itself is still a striking sight- day or night- while strolling along Wichita’s Arkansas River Trail. #keeperoftheplains #ilovewichita #travelks #roadsideamerica #tinsheets
