Vintage neon signs

[Guttersnipe]

Here's a really good one that was actually put up in the last 10 years, or so:

Oakland, CA

It's almost directly across the street from this great neon facade:

There's an entire block of neon on Broadway in San Francisco. These places were all burlesque clubs back in the day. Not much has changed really...

But the coolest one is across the street:

I'll bet it does! Those are great, Harv!

Also great, Guttersnipe. That Garden of Eden sign is impressive.

A few more form the heyday of Hollywood Neon ...

Here is a great one in my city. As you can see, the interior even mimics a Hogan. I think it was built in 1935, here is the interesting story of it! http://www.johnnyshogan.com/ Our motorcycle club meant their for a few years, then the owner moved us to his other bar farther south. The new location has better food, but it is much smaller!

Awesome shots.

My hometown's movie theater apparently used to have a neat looking sign. It's all the way to the left of the picture. As you can see the new signage is very ugly. Haaa.

And then there's the awesome sign at the Buskirk Chumley here in Bloomington:

Old signage is so much more appealing than what's out there now.

The Old Parole Shopping Center in Annapolis, MD. Old Sears sign still up at the Sears store. Very cool.

Very cool Harv! The old Sears sign down here has been gone for a few years now. It was a coooool old building.

This property is up for a renovation (shocker). It will be sad to see the signs go. I have made it clear to the architect, that if the signs are to be trashed, I will gladly take them off his hands. Due to insurance regulations, I doubt that will happen. We will see.

Not a problem....I usually try to wait until someone posts in the different threads, before I add mine...it's like a reminder that I have lots of photos to upload.
