The dial lit up. Looks very psychedelic in a dark room. I'll be replacing the cracked glass at some point in the future, but I can live with it for now.
Driving up U.S. 1 in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, we came across this wonderful old Dairy Queen....with a new sign, yes, but with the old one too!
There is a plaque in front of this Dairy Queen proclaiming that in 2009 it received the "Donnadine Miller Memorial Historic Preservation Award". Good for them; I know I was absolutely delighted to come across this and hope to visit it again next year.
HERE is a close-up of the old sign, in colour.

The Arabic Phrase : Ela Almasajed (= To the mosques) -Written in Kufi Font - Memluke style- It is formed like mosque minarets.

The astounding network of the Cu Chi tunnels are probably the main attraction in this site, apart from the various defenses and booby traps set up by the Viet Cong to destroy their US enemy. Other above-ground attractions include caged monkeys, vendors selling souvenirs, and a shooting range where visitors can fire a number of assault rifles, such as the M16 rifle or AK-47, as well as a light machine gun like the M60. This large blue sign announces the shooting range where you can supposedly 'enjoy' some shooting. (Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon/ HCM, Vietnam, Nov. 2016)

Gaoyao village, Huilong town, Guizhou, China
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huilong,_Gaoyao
After having lunch on the top of the mountain, travelers will call on the mysterious village in Gaoyao, namely the Eight Diagrams Village in Huilong Town. Observing from the sky, the houses form into circles in orderness and with beautiful designing, quite like a hat. These houses are built beside mountains and rivers, and have peculiar styles. The major feature of the village is “regard water as connection”, "consider house as the wall”, and “regard stone as foundation”.
