The sign of the Motel Dixiana is pictured, July 26, 2019, in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The sign is built in the style of Googie architecture, which began in Southern California in the 1930s and was popular in the United States from the 1940s to 1960s. The futurist style was inspired by Streamline Moderne architecture, car culture, the Space Age, and the Atomic Age.
