Oh, that is a really good one. You have to love the lighting-bolt mascot. It appears he doesn't, but it would be fantastic (and logically consistent - he is made out of a lightning bolt after all) if he was lit in neon as well.

Wow! That one is great!

Went by this old deli the other day - haven't been in the area in a long time (used to live nearby and would drop in occasionally back in the '80s and '90s). It was closed when I went by on Monday - hence the boring first two photos I took - but to give you a sense of it in its neon glory, I grab the third photo off the web. The place is a throwback, but to be honest, it didn't feel that clean (in truth, it looked and felt dirty), so I mainly bought packaged stuff. Haven't been in it in two decades probably.




And from the web, in its glory

1954 found these on cinema treasures I had relatives who used to go here in the 40's its balcony converted into two additional theaters . It was converted in the 70's by United artists to a three screen as movies in the 70's had a stipulation that flop or not it must shown for 3-4 weeks so they converted it to make money if they got a flop movie Sadly from what I've found online it's now owned by greedy people from the Bay Area who keep it as a property right off although the city has asked for 3 million fed dollars to restore it back to the live vaudeville/ movie theatre it was in the 20's

These two are next to each other in yuba city ca the pump on the second sign used three neon pump handles to simulate its pumping. As far as I've heard they closed one bar last year and then one this year

Boots Court, Carthage, Missouri. I hope they put the top and bottom bands on and the arrow again.

I am just glad they didn't call it, The Boots First Motel!
