Fred’burg has a drug store that’s been here since Christ was in diapers. It has an old fashioned lunch counter in the front of the store, with the pharmacy located in the rear.
The neon sign, inside, was shot through a plate glass window, reflecting the buildings behind me.

In 2022 All the white painted parts of the building were painted a mocha java color. A painted sign in the window reads; BOB CAFE.
As of Sept 2024 the Jeben's neon sign was on the roof leaning up aginst the south wall next to the chimney

This sign used to be in front of the South Shore's Gary, Indiana station, and ended up at the Illinois Railway Museum. It's been nicely restored and works - someday I'll get a night shot of it.
This is another scan from that messy roll of film shot on the old Ansco brick.

I guess all these people are in a hurry to get their Christmas shopping done!
In 2012 Forbes Magazine named North Park one of America’s Hippest Hipster Neighborhoods. I didn’t need Forbes Magazine to tell me that since I have been going to this San Diego neighborhood for years. My favorite Christian bookstore, camera shop and coffee lounge are located there or were. I have been patronizing those businesses for years, but now the Christian bookstore has closed down, I do all my camera shopping online and my favorite coffee lounge, Claire de Lune, has gone out of business.
Photographing North Park’s neon sign was a bit dangerous since I was standing in the middle of traffic in the narrow part of the island to capture this long exposure shot. Afterwards, I would normally reward my bravery by heading down the street corner on the right for a nice cup of coffee at Claire de Lune, but since they have closed their doors I had to settle for Starbucks across the street.
Merry Christmas my Flickr friends!
Happy Travels!
