Photos of a pre digital Detroit and Michigan seen while driving

Thanks  to a photographer who is now in the Library of Congress there is a collection of unique Michigan Road Photos. Everything from cabins with broken neon signs saying welcome to the still standing UNIROYAL giant tire  All by John Margolis


they are curated here  and I quote from Metrotimes.com 

In July, the Library of Congress published more than 10,000 vintage photographs of signs, storefronts, and other roadside oddities shot by photographer John Margolies during long, cross-country treks along U.S. highways.

These images — taken with a 35mm camera in the 1970s, '80s, and early '90s — capture theaters, gas stations, dinosaur parks, strip clubs, hotels, diners, bars, mini-golf, and ice cream stands throughout the greater metro Detroit area. Since the photos are public domain — meaning we can share them with you — we've selected some of our favorite images for a much-needed throwback to the days before digital billboards.
