Shell’s Yeah!

shell NC

This single story Shell station, in the shape of a giant scallop shell, was built by RH Burton and his son, Ralph, in 1930 at Sprague and Peachtree Streets in Winston-Salem. The owners of the oil company decided to attract customers through a series of shell-shaped service stations. They built at least eight in the Winston-Salem area, but the station at Sprague and Peachtree is the only one remaining [Wiki|LoC]

Art By Art

artist Art Spiegelman‘s stained-glass mural overlooking the cafeteria of his alma mater – the High School of Art & Design 

the mural shows how an artist develops over time. ‘As students and faculty walk through the high school corridor that overlooks the cafeteria, they can see and be seen, moving back and forth between yesterday and tomorrow in a work about work.  My obsessive interest in cartooning was nurtured at the High School of Art and Design, and when a chance came to return the favor for new generations of students, I leaped at it through this window,’ says Spiegelman, HSAD class of 1965
