SImco's Takeout Sign

SImco's Takeout Sign
Made by pantone356
Boston is not known for stellar hotdog stands, but Simco's in Mattapan is one of the few. They've been around since the Great Depression, and their retro-cool neon signage looks like it's been there since the beginning. (#77 of 100 in the Boston Signage Project) 100bostonsigns.tumblr.com

Made by cunningba
Still life on back porch. I was intrigued by the somewhat cryptic name on the crate, the textures of the wood, the pot, and the glass. As I developed it, I became more interested in the texture of the sunlight on the screen. Dorchester, MA. Summer, 1968.

The stairs behind the door at our house on Evans Street. Who knows how many times we went up and down those stairs; how many good times and friendships and loves swirled around in the rooms around those stairs. Dorchester, MA. Summer, 1968.

The well worn door through which we entered and all eventually left. It was a friendly, verty intense house: a nursery, an incubator, a crucible, a vision, a nexus, and a time which is now past. Dorchester, MA. Summer, 1968.

With Heba there, I suppose it's more of a momentarily paused life I guess. Looking out at the beautiful old elm tree (with a tire swing) in the back from an attic bedroom. Dorchester, MA. Summer, 1968.

Gray Cat was his actual name. Because of his amazingly uniform grey coloring, it seemed the only appropriate name for him. Dorchester, MA. Summer, 1968. -Added to the pool as most interesting.
