Signage Saturday - La Citta

Route 66 is a goldmine for neon and Tucumcari NM is one of the better towns. La Citta has been in business for decades but has changed hands a number of time. The rotating neon sign is one of the New Mexico neon icons along with the Blue Swallow Motel.

Signage Saturday - Grace Day/Night Cleaners

Grace Cleaners, in business since 1907, is located in downtown Oklahoma City and is open 24 hours. This is one of the few porcelain neon signs left in town.

I really need to get another shot of this one using my tripod so it isn't blurry. But I love this closeup of the S at the bottom.

Signage Saturday - Beverly's

"Dwayne," I hear folks say, "we KNOW that you're dangerously obsessed with the scar-faced bounty hunter, but what do you do when you're NOT trying to construct a workable timeline for Hex?"

Well, one thing I like to do is take photographs of old signs, specifically, neon signs. Something about the old neon glow that is just magic to me. Also, so many of the signs have such a distinctive feel and style to them that you really don't get to see much of anymore.

This is the sign for Beverly's Pancake Corner, formerly on the corner of NW Expressway and Penn in Oklahoma City. Sadly, this sign went away a few years ago and I have been unable to locate any info on where it might be stored.

Here is a closeup of the chicken on the top of the sign
