Quickly snapped from the car as we drove through town; the place looked closed (and gas certainly wasn't that pricey; it was early 2009 when the photo was taken). I also spotted an old motel: www.flickr.com/photos/alphabetsoupstudio/3538734809/

The grand finale of the Boston Sign Project is the landmark Schrafft’s sign which is mounted atop the company’s former factory in Charlestown’s Sullivan Square. Schrafft’s was a candy, chocolate and cake company founded in 1861, and had stores and restaurants along the east coast up until the business was shut down in 1981. The old factory was converted into commercial office space, and in 2016 the famous neon sign was reconstructed exactly as it was with a high-efficiency, energy reducing lighting system. The sign remains an icon, and at night the pink neon glow can be seen for miles in all directions. (#100 of 100 in the Boston Signage Project)

----I gave this a softer, less-saturated look; added grain too. Going for a more nostalgic feel, I guess.
Saw this theater on a drive down to Kansas City earlier this year in March. Resolved to come back and shoot it at twilight/dusk/blue hour when it was lit up. I was glad to see that all the letters were lit and the sign appeared to be in fine order. One more summer goal completed.
