Roto-sphere "Sputnik" sign at Joe's Liquors in Memphis, TN. According to the Roadside Architecture website, "Roto-Sphere signs are perhaps the biggest and most dramatic neon signs ever mass-produced. They were created and produced by Warren Milks from 1960-1971. Milks made approximately 234 of them at his sign shop in Bossier City, LA. Only about 20 Roto-Spheres are left. Of these, only four are fully operational (Memphis, Lakeland, Whiteland, and Salt Lake City). Only 9 are still on public display...Not only does the sign rotate on its pole, but the ball itself is composed of two counter-rotating hemispheres."

I took this photo in 2016 on my trip to Memphis to visit family and to attend Gonerfest 13, a punk rock/garage rock music festival run by Goner Records.

Feminist author Barbara Novak writes a best-seller proclaiming "yes" to sex and "no" to romance, but playboy Catcher Block is determined to prove she's really DOWN WITH LOVE (2003). Director Peyton Reed resurrects the Doris Day/Rock Hudson comedies of the early '60s... to mixed results in our opinion.
