Well, having an 1130 PM redeye out of Anchorage, and needing to check out of the hotel well before that, I had some time to kill Thursday. So, I went for a walk. Anchorage is chock-full of some older buildings and signage. A sampling from downtown Anchorage:
First, the closed 4th Avenue Theater. I think it's been a nightclub at some point, but is currently vacant.
Army/Navy Surplus - now mostly newer outerwear, etc.
The Club 25, which apparently started out as a Ladies' gathering place, but is now a coffee/tea place (that serves not-so-good coffee)
I stopped in this place, the Paris Club, for lunch one day. Old line steak and seafood house with high-backed booths and a curved marble bar. I can vouch for their hamburgers, at least. And good cole slaw, which is always important.
OK, the last one's not neon, but it was pretty cool. This faced on the alley side of the building. I think somebody is living in an apartment on the second floor.

Burke and Herbert Bank, founded in 1852, is the oldest bank in Virginia, and the oldest continuously operating bank in Washington DC. This building, in Alexandria VA, was renovated last year. They kept the old sign.

Stopped here for a chocolate malt while working in old town Fredericksburg. Serving since 1947.
Great stormy skies we are having the last couple of days.

Great shot, Harv. The backdrop of the skies give it an otherworldly look.

Chocolate malt ... :drool:
I can't help but read that as Coral (or what Rick on "Walking Dead" calls his son).

Andrew's is no more, but the sign's still hanging in the East Lake neighborhood of Birmingham.
Back in the day, the silhouette of the pig was animated to look like it was running.

While not technically the kind of neon we like to see around here, this one's too good not to share. In spite of some of the more dubious cuts of meat they might serve, Sweet Daddy's dishes up some darn fine southern soul food staples to go along with the q, black eye peas, mac & cheese, greens, candied yams, fried okra, all that good stuff.....
