The great sign for the Charles Brown Store (gas station and convenience store) is for one of a handful of businesses on Highway 127/178 in Shoshone, California. It features a spinning neon element on top and bulbs pointing to the store. The most light for miles around, for sure.

The Spanish Baroque style Paramount Theater was built in 1929 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A great sign that has seen better days

Second sign for this establishment,this one is a hulking neon sign which may or may not currently light up. "MOTEL" would alternate from blinking green to blinking pink to adding green again for a two-tone effect.

And look--"4 Hour Nap" is a registered trademark!

Across the street from the closed KFC. Anyone know what this once was? Some kind of restaurant?

The bulbs on the State Theatre marquee in downtown Sioux Falls almost look like hobnail glassware.

These cool 60s-era signs hadn't lit up since the late 70s. Owners didn't maintain them well. Apologies if I've posted a closeup of this already.

In this 1987 photograph, the Capitol Theater that opened in 1927 was showing movies. Since the photograph, the theater was remodeled (in 1994) to host a community theatre.

A little tired, but the neon and colorful bulbs are catchy.
