An early victim (2000) of the mid-century motel demo craze in the Wildwoods of NJ was the now forgotten Starlite Motel. The sign was saved.

Mong Kok (also spelt Mongkok), is an area in the Yau Tsim Mong District on Kowloon West, Hong Kong. Before the 1994 merger, Mong Kok was part of the Mong Kok District. The Prince Edward area occupies the northern part of Mong Kok.
The district is characterized by a mixture of old and new multi-story buildings, with shops and restaurants at street level and commercial or residential units above. Major industries in Mong Kok are retail, restaurants (including fast food) and entertainment.
With its extremely high population density of 130,000 person per km2 or 340,000 person per mi2, Mongkok was described as the busiest district in the world by the Guinness World Records.

Lang Lee Chop Suey & PARK TV. Also known as Park Magnavox. Both closed roughly around 1998. Both businesses opened in the 50's.
In 1953, Mr Lee was looking to buy the house next to my grandparents house but couldn't due to the clause in the sales contract, "Can't sell to Black or Asian Blood". But the village would sell them business licenses, but they couldn't live here..............My how times have changed.
Lang Lee Chop Suey II in Orland Park has been in danger of closing for the past two years, The Mayor has a deal cooking with a devloper to redevelope the corner of 143rd & LaGrange Road and about 15 or more businesses would be lost. Its a big political mess out there.
Originally in the late 60's early 70s there was a Drug Store on the corner and Magnavox was a much smaller shop in the middle. My mom used to give me a dime and on the way home from school - which is across the street, I would stop off at the Drug Store for one of those Orange Push Up's. (the Ice Cream treat). When the Drug Store closed Magnavox expanded to the corner. I bought my first tabletop stereo at Magnavox in 1980. It had an 8 track & turntable.
