You're the lucky one
So I've been told
As free as the wind
Blowing down the road
Loved by many, hated by none
I'd say you're lucky 'cause I know what you've done
Not a care in the world
Not a worry in sight
Everything's gonna be alright
'Cause you're the lucky one...

I do not think that this gem is still around because this area has been overtaken by the gentifiers and they're slapping up new condos that nobody can afford...
This is our last find in North Dakota and according to Google maps was a neon & bulb sign back in 2009. Today the neon & bulbs are gone, but it is well maintained, however the hotel looked closed. On to Canada.
Well, I woke up this morning
with the sun shining through my door now
I saw the deputy standing
in the middle of my bedroom floor now
so I jumped out my window
with the deputy on my trail now
on my trail now
well, there's nowhere to run now
yeah, there's no place to hide
lookout...

With my brothers from Maui coming to the mainland this past week, things have been NUTS...saw them in Fairfax last Saturday night and then again at Lake Tahoe this past Saturday night, with a stop to see Dave Alvin and The Guilty Men Wednesday night in Sacramento...kicked this old boy's booty but someone has to do it...
Jeffrey City, Wyoming
UPDATE -- November 2013. Drove through Jeffrey City a few days ago and discovered that this sign has been removed. It's an unfortunate loss of one of Wyoming's iconic roadside signs.

Well, I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy
Never blew a second chance, oh no...
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby, keep me happy
Baby, baby, keep me happy...

Happy Easter--as good a time as any to post this cool vintage neon, bulb, & clock sign for the Philadelphia Church in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood--currently celebrating their 90th Anniversary! Founded by Swedish immigrants as a Pentecostal church. It moved to its current location at 5437 N Clark Street (former Capital State Bank Building) in 1939.. From what I can gather, it now functions as a non-denominational church.

The last amusement park (not counting water parks) still open in West Virginia. It originated as a trolley park picnic spot in 1903. A carousel was installed later in the year. A roller coaster and other rides were added in following years. The current owners' family (according to the park’s website) took over in 1950.
It’s also reportedly one of only 13 trolley parks still open. Trolley parks were 19th and early 20th century recreation areas and, in later years, amusement parks built out on the far edge of town, almost always owned by the local streetcar company, created to give riders an incentive to use the trolley. A notable example is Coney Island.

While in Logansport I journeyed to the north end of town to get a re-shoot of the nice drive-in neon sign. I heard it had been repainted and I see that the food pictures above and below the name are gone.

The now defunct furniture company left behind this great sign and even in bright daylight I could see a lot of the bulbs were lit. The building is undergoing restoration into apartment/condos and entertainment.
