@boblackey1 Since I was born in the 60's, I missed the real heyday. Luckily, there were some, most notably the fabulous Holiday Inn big sign, and there was a local company, Ace Neon that had a sign with every color imaginable on it. There was one large thoroughfare nearby that had a string of great 60's neon and/or marques lights? all lined up in a row: Krispy Kreme, Arby's, Shoney's Big Boy, and Holiday Inn. But as you say, in the late 70's and 80's, it almost all vanished. That's progress?

@zathras9now When I ...
@zathras9now When I was growing up, I loved neon signs. There were so many good ones in my hometown. Also I was excited to go to New York in 1953 with my father as a big reason was to see neon signs. In the 60's, neon faded and most signs were plastic and back lite with floresent tubes. In the 80's and 90's, neon made a modest comback but never did out number plastic/back lit signs as it did in the decades of it's glory, and? now is almost gone here thanks to LED.
