Thanks Dale. It was nice to go there this weekend. The whole strip is full of this stuff. I just scratched the surface. Its like driving down the street in 1958. All historical, and all still operational. Way cool.

Nice ones Harv!

This was a homeless shelter / transition housing for years and years. Now closed. I hope something "kewl" goes in before too long.

Great sign. Reminds me that there was a time when some stores had odd combinations of merchandise - furniture, jewelry and appliances (even most department stores today - at least in NYC - have dropped furniture). And not like today, where a store might, effectively, sublease space to something else - these stores tended to be proprietor owed and run with each area a real part of the store.

Furniture, appliances, and undertaking was a common combination in the early part of the last century.

Returning from Carlisle, PA yesterday evening on Rt 15
Seen this place many a time. I have never stopped to eat there.

In the Mt Pleasant neighborhood of Washington, DC. Opened in 1928, closed in December 2014. The sign remains....

Here are a few I've photographed around Texas over the past few years...


The Candlelite Inn in Arlington. Installed around 1955, I'd suppose, it's since been moved when the restaurant was remodeled, but it exists.
The Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff, Dallas. Not the original sign, I believe this one was installed when they restored the theater some years back.
Comet Cleaners in Arlington.
Arcadia Theater in Kerrville. Originally built in a Spanish style in 1926, this facade was installed in later years ('50s maybe?). Last time I was there, they were in the process of renovating, apparently it's back up and running now.


Decrepit Rexall Drugstore sign in Grand Saline.
Uptown Theater in Marble Falls.
Lantex Theater in Llano.

Sweet pics, Conelrad!

This is 3 B's Bakery in Pasadena, Maryland. Passed by this place today while on the way to a job. Never seen it before .

There is a place in London called Gods Own Junkyard. Many of the old neon signs that have been taken down in the London area have been brought here,
Restored and are now on display to the public.

There are so many things that are good about this sign - but the pig is the best.
