[Blackthorn]

There's an argument to be made that you just won best post in the "Vintage Neon Sign" thread.

I agree!

We still have one, which might be the original location in town, but I can't remember.

Located in Centre, Alabama, near Weiss Lake. I'd hoped to catch this one lit, but sadly, it looks like those days are over.

I quite like it being illuminated with the ambient lighting; it allows us to see the paint scheme and patina that might have otherwise been obscured.

At least you got it, very cool.

We still have one Arby's "big hat" sign left in to, I believe.

We've still got an original working one at the original Gainesville Florida location.

Awesome, Ghostsoldier!

Hope this isn't a re-run. I looked, but didn't see it. I used to pass this place on the way to my Grandparent's house. The neon motion of the jet contrail was great.

Nowadays ...

I like it!

The former Tower Theatre (1948 - 1996) in Springfield, MO. Now a radio station. My wife's Grandfather was the general contractor when it was built on the edge of town (now closer to the center of town).

My daughter sent me this photo. Just shoot me now …

Great pics!
