Vintage neon signs

⇧ The older architecture is so much more engaging, IMO of course.

Infinitely so.

Infinitely so.

How is the heel / the recovery going?

How is the heel / the recovery going?

It is going well, thank you. The pain is less and not as often.
I am now able to practice standing on the injured foot and walking or regaining a natural gait. It is awkward, disconcerting, and exciting to finally be able to put weight on the foot. I still wear a protective boot and roll around on a knee scooter. The kids and staff at school are helpful although I get around pretty well. Still, I am ready to get back on my feet. Mowing the lawn is obnoxious while on a knee scooter. The doctor says I have another three to five months in this process before I am back to as close to normal as I can be. I am so ready.

TOC why are you mowing the lawn in Feb?
More important why do it ? Can somebody
else do it?
btw: I also have 3 to 5 months before I'm
back on my feet.

We get enough sun along with the rain and then the grass really grows. Lady ToE volunteered to mow. Others have volunteered to do so as well. Or I could pay someone to do it, but I didn’t really consider doing that. I enjoy being outside and I knew that I would feel good being productive so I did it.
Good luck on your rehabbing 2jakes. I would rather be in my boat than your boat anytime.

Gee...I feel much better knowing that!

I meant that mine is cakewalk compared to what you are enduring. Fret not, I am sure that you will complete your journey back rather easily compared to what most would be able to do.

Was teasing...I know I got this, I never
quit.

Not exactly a cakewalk, but it'll do!

I love this sign. Seeing it brought back memories of this on the radio:

Take care of yourself Jake. I must have missed some of your posts.

 

[Bamaboots]

Apologies if this is a rerun.

 

[2jakes]

There's nothing with reruns.

I enjoy this one. With a bed & sofa
chair I could live here.

 

[Ghostsoldier]

Bulova.

Great sign. Is that a street car or bus a touch off to the right? Design looks kinda street car to me, but I don't see the wires anywhere.

 

[Ghostsoldier]

I think it's a bus, designed to look like a streetcar...it looks like it has tires.

[Haversack]

Its a PCC streetcar. You can see the trolley wires on the right hand side of the photo where they show up against the third floor windows of the fancy parapeted brick building. Also, you can see the supporting wires running across the street at every power pole.

 

[2jakes]

Downtown there's several that go from
the Alamo to Market Square

Real streetcar but no longer in use
