Cleaners--Car Hop Service

Retro cleaners. Note the "Car Hop Service."

Bambi

Bambi. This Bambi sign is a classic. It taken some 15 years ago. It's the original sign. The "Cleaners" part of the sign has been replaced.

Malice

Neon sign with a message inside a museum.

North Beach Lights

San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood at night.

Gulf

Remember the Gulf gas station.

Motel

Gee, I don't think that motel sign would lure me in. However, it is beautiful in its own way. It was taken in Desert Hot Springs, California.

Dizzy

Some where in the Baltic States.

Gayety

Collingwood, Ontario, home of the Elvis Festival.

Jesus Saves

Backward "Jesus Saves" sign.

All Star Donuts

Built in 1928.

Orpheum

Too bad many of the old movie palaces have shut their doors. They existed in a grand time of red carpets and movie intermissions. The Orpheum is in downtown Los Angeles.

Melody Inn Neon Sign

On the backstreets of downtown LA, I found this tomato sauce sign.

Sounds like it was a lovely place long ago.

Bow and Arrow Motel the Way It Used to Be

This was photographed when the sign was at the Bow and Arrow Motel downtown a few years ago. That motel is no longer there. The sign has been refurbished and placed on Las Vegas, Blvd.

Can You Read This?

The spelling of this sign is questionable. Can anyone decipher?

Tiki time means party time.

Safari Inn

Another Southern California classic.

Little Giant Printers

Wouldn't want to get on his wrong side!

Coffee Shop Provides Rocket Fuel for the Body

Seems like the best outdoor signs other than those for motels are for coffee shops like this coffee shop or for cocktails like yesterday's cocktail glass sign.
