JCPenney cleanup
Painted side with new lights, they still glow through the paint. I'm going to leave this side as-is for now.

JCPenney sign recovered from Northridge Mall, Milwaukee.
Abandoned for 18 years after the store closed in 2000, and merely covered-up with cheap spraypaint (likely because it was infested with wasps). The paint covering the white plastic scraped-away easily with a quarter to reveal the letters. From there I cracked it open (to vacuum out 40+ years of dead wasps and found it just needed a regular 120v cord and some bulbs to light up, again.
