My brain is gradually getting back on home time. The sign is wonderful - get a picture of it later in the year when it's turned on at night.

Old neon is such an American thing, don't tend to see much here in Europe...<br /><br />If you enjoy neon you may like the Let There Be Neon website :<br /><br />http://www.lettherebeneon.com/<br /><br />There is also a book by that title, put together by Rudi Stern, if you can find it, it contains a wonderful collection of neon sign and art photos.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-57742485454873390092011-09-07T03:40:25.648-07:002011-09-07T03:40:25.648-07:00Carolyn, you've got a great talent for finding...Carolyn, you've got a great talent for finding these wonderful old signs.

Here there was a case of a sign being taken down for some restoration and the owners weren't allowed to put it back up because it didn't fit the new codes (it was grandfathered, I guess, while it was in place, but lost that status the minute he took it down.) some bylaws are just plain ornery.VioletSkyhttp://violetsky-sightlines.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-54008908562701701072011-09-06T20:19:49.862-07:002011-09-06T20:19:49.862-07:00I love that sign!
