The bulb sign on the side of the Skol Liquors Building at East 25th Street & 27th Avenue South in Minneapolis is in a neat font.

5721 N Clark St.

At the bottom of the blade sign, it says, "Business for sale." From the reviews on Yelp, it sounds like this place wasn't open for very long: www.yelp.com/biz/kingfisher-seafood-restaurant-and-bar-ch...

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.

Neon sign fully lit...extra points for having crown point lights working as well!

One more slightly-abstract view of this classic before I reveal entire sign. Like other neon, this one is a flickr celebrity (I think).

I love the facade of this old theatre in Exeter. The Bulb sign looks fairly original, and it definitely reminds you of the glamorous theaters of the days gone by. Most small towns had a small theater at some point or another, but sadly, many of them no longer stand to this day.

The newly-restored Beverly YMCA sign is back!

I've been meaning to photograph this sign for years, and finally got around to it a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know that just days later it was going to be taken down and sent out for restoration. Glad I took this Before picture and I look forward to taking the After one!

Porkys is a drive-in hamburger place that dates from the 1950s. Porkys was closed during the 1970s, but reopened in 1990. The restaurant on University Ave is along the old routes of US 12 and US 52. In 2011, Porky's close for the last time--at this site. Most of the building was carted off to a a historic museum site

Recreation, but you don't see many bulb signs recreated like this.

In this 1987 photograph the Paramount had closed and was for sale. Sometimes during the 1990s the building was razed.
