  "For those of us who love old neon signs, roadside attractions and the unique Americana that was produced in the last century no one has found or cataloged more of this than Debra Jane Seltzer the amount of miles she has traveled through small towns, large cities and everything in between is truly amazing ............. the work that Debra does takes time and a lot of effort including the research explaining about the images you have the opportunity to view.
  Many of the things and places shown on her stream are closed and I'm sure quite a few of them no longer even exist so in this regard we are lucky to have someone document so well what used to be.
  In closing do yourself a favor and check out the wonderful body of work that Debra Jane has done here on flicker or on her various websites which I also enjoy and you certainly will too"

  "Debra Jane has quietly put together one of the most important records of 20th Century America. The photos are wonderful, but the research she puts together for these places is the real gem.
  
  So, for all the miles on the road, days away from home, money spent on gas and the countless hours of overtime that make these trips possible - thank you!"

  "I've followed Debra Jane Seltzer's photographic odyssey across America and Canada. I've never seen anything quite like her dedication to a vision before. I can't imagine the number of hours spent researching, compiling, planning, mapping, driving, shooting, downloading, correcting, sorting, uploading, archiving and commenting on the images she has recorded each year. Has she mastered space and time to put 48 hours into a day? Perhaps!
  
  She is single handedly saving a vision in America's time that is a rapidly disappearing reality. Give her a hand. Send her your thoughts on things to be saved during her photographic journeys. Those that do will be helping academics that will be teaching your grandchildren 25 years in future. I know some day Debra Jane will be recognized as a national resource. In my opinion she already is."

  "There are alot of people who photograph roadside arcitecture on Flickr, but there is only one master and that master is Agilitynut. There is no one with a larger collection of roadside pictures or knowledge bar none. I envy her sense of adventure."

  "agilitynut is out there doing God's work every day. She's documenting every last little thing built during the 20th century that made America unique, distinctive or most importantly, fun. As every day, someone else decides to paint over something wonderful or tear it down, she is saving these signs, buildings, and roadside attractions so that we can all see it whenever we'd like.
  
  Keep up the good work, please, Debra - your entire photostream is a joy."

  "AgilityNut
  This Flickerite has the finest collection of Roadside Attractions photographed by one person. The subjects are Old Signs (Neon& Steel), Roadside Giants, Diners, Gas Stations, Drive-In Theatres and various other fading and forgotten roadside landmarks of the the 20th Century. There is much historic research and interesting facts included with all the images. For a look at this extensive collections of FAVS visit her site at www.RoadsideArchi...
  I hope that she can keep doing this work for a long time to come. This is the "Real Thing", a body of work we can all trust as a authentic glimpse into the life on the streets of America in the 20th Century.
  Best Wishes,
  Bob (www.FotoEdge.com)"
