This beauty is located off the very busy National Avenue in Springfield, MO. This appears to be a national chain; I've seen pictures on Google that show the letters in both neon and vintage bulb design. This particular franchise in Springfield has been open since 1988, according to Manta, the business website; the chain itself was born in 1911. This is my second attempt at shooting this; I was with friends the first time a couple of nights previous to this shooting in almost driving rain.
This Dry Cleaner service in Nashville's Salemtown neighborhood went out of business around 2012, but the sign remains a decade later. The top says One Hour Service. Because of the slant, the bottom says the word SHIRTS with increasingly large letters. This is located along Buchanan St. between 10th and 11th Ave.

When you look through the years on google street view, it's become other businesses over the years, but appeared closed ont he day I took this. However, there was a guy selling Vacuums out of the trunk of his car.
It's pretty rare to run across a neon sign on the front of a building as well as the side of the building. This is the large sign on the front.

A dry cleaners that had to shut down due to leaking tetrachloroethylene. I thought I'd get a shot before the sign was mowed by a hoe.
'In a letter to the dry-cleaner’s landlord, Alberta Environment and Parks contends that environmental reports have found tetrachloroethylene contamination in surrounding properties that allegedly came from Todd Cleaners.
Tetrachloroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene (PERC), is a tightly regulated chemical used in dry cleaning.'
