City Motel.
One can probably see the words on the sign
better after dark, when the neon is illuminated!

Cactus and Sombrero


It is a little tough to spot at first,
but there is a figure seated at the base
of a cactus as part of this old sign.
The figure is wrapped in a blanket
and wearing a sombrero;
must be enjoying a siesta
while the rest of the sign takes a long nap.

Sands Motel


I am sure there are thousands of stories witnessed
by this neon sentinel.
The shape and style immediately take us back to another time.

Esquire to squire



Used to be "Esquire Center"
but both sides of the sign have been altered
to read "squire center."

It's a Sign


Something tells me
this used to be an eye-catching sign.
It still managed to catch my eye!

What's Your Sign?


OK.
I confess.
I am really not sure
what this sign was announcing.
I think,
maybe,
it was a men's clothing store.
The cut-out design
and the neon...
vintage sweetness.
