Fort Worth Art | Rocket Sign Jacksboro Highway | Betsy Crum

The Rocket sign on Jacksboro Highway, black script against a towering white cloud and a slate-gray sky. Rocket Sign — Jacksboro Highway Fort Worth Art by Betsy Crum Jacksboro Highway was Fort Worth's sin strip in the 1950s — gambling, nightclubs, and the mobsters who ran them. Most of it is gone. The Rocket's steel sign is still up, and Betsy shot it the way it deserves: small, dark, and hanging on under a sky that is doing something enormous. No color, because the highway never needed any. It is moody Fort Worth art for an office, a bar, or a man cave, and it hangs well with the Wash Horses sign and the rest of the roadside Americana. A sharp gift for dad. Betsy Crum, working in Texas. Original family artwork, printed to order.
