About
Roadside Edit
The architecture of the American highway
Motels, diners, filling stations and neon — the buildings the road built, who is saving them, and what is being lost.
What we cover
Roadside Edit covers roadside architecture, design and preservation.
How we work
Articles are written to be useful to someone actually doing the thing — specific, checkable, and honest about what varies by situation. Where a piece touches regulated work, it says so rather than implying the reader can skip a professional.
We correct mistakes rather than quietly editing them away. If a correction changes the substance of a piece, the article says what changed.
Following along
Every article appears in the RSS feed, which is the best way to follow the site without an account or a newsletter.
