This image is taken just outside Hibbing MN, located in Northern Minnesota. I have photographed these structures/signs for several years. To me they seem to be a holdover from a bygone era. (1950-60's ?). I think there is a term called Googie-architecture for this sort of structures. Not sure if that applies here. In any case, I am very intrigued by the form of these signs.
