JCPenney cleanup
Opening up the case and finding out why they probably left it mounted on the store. I filled half a vacuum canister with dead bees, and there are still more inside that I wasn't able to reach. Every time I moved this with the side cover off more bees fell out.

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.
