Best described as an ongoing passion project, Neon and Nostalgia is the result of a yearlong adventure, spanning three states. The mission: Documenting vintage neon signs and other relics of Americana.

Crystallization of this thematic project stemmed from architectural interest in areas like Old North Sacramento, the Greater Broadway District, and communities in Shasta and Siskiyou Counties. In a largely forgotten era, many of these areas had major thoroughfares running through the center of town. René began piecing together transitional neighborhoods with historic highways, seeing them for what they represented in their original glory—vibrant destinations where people lived, worked, socialized, and vacationed.

Neon and Nostalgia is a small sampling of a meaningful period in American history when life was less complicated, road travel was the norm, and neon signage—the technology of its time—lured us in with its vibrant colors, wow-factor, and charm.
