The American Highway Project

http://www.highwayproject.org/

Americans adore their automobiles, creating a lifestyle of
mobility and independence. At The American Highway Project,
vanishing Americana - the motels, billboards, service stations,
signs, tourist attractions, drive-in theatres and diners - is
being documented and preserved.

Founder Edgar Praus, a photographer with a love of the American
landscape, travels the backroads snapping the quaint roadside
attractions before they disappear entirely beneath the
Target/Home Depot/Wal-Mart strip malls that are fast taking over.
Besides photos, the site brings news of current
American Highway projects, a web journal along Route 66, a
bookstore and resources for those inspired to trip backward
through time.
