at first thought it was like mccoreys where they shortened the name to mcorys to save money on sign costs

This was once a Red Goose Shoe store. The sign has been restored. It is now a cafe.

First there were refrigerated telephones, now air-conditioned telephones!
The mind boggles...

but since they went from national to state i guess it would be fitting to name it the "county" now

Thanks Harv! It's long been one of my favorites. I think it still lights up at night, I haven't been through there in years after dark. I remember at one time the eye winked open and closed when lit, but last time I saw it that feature wasn't working. I hope they've gotten it fixed.

Went to a concert at the local Gillioz Theatre here in Springfield, MO. It was general admission so while waiting in line I took a couple of snaps of the neon used on part of the marque. It is still serviced by a company that has been around since 1934.
A daylight shot of the front:
Guess we should see it lit at night:

I think there must be an Oasis in every town. Those that I know of do not tend to be much of a haven unless you are a complete drunk.

Hey Dale ... I stumbled across a partially lit version of Moon Winx!
The Hotel Seville in Springfield, MO was either a dump or closed for most of my adult life. it was recently redone and made into loft apartments. They kept, but modified the sign.
I used to go to Gailey Drugs next door for lunch when I worked about a block away (late 1980s). Cheeseburger and a chocolate malt with a raw egg (an extra 30-cents) at the counter as the rest of the space was filled with drug store sundries.
When the old folks closed the pharmacy and sold off the business it was reopened as a breakfast cafe. My brother-in-law, a life-time resident, apparently discovered the place after it opened for breakfast. He was excited to tell us about it. We asked what the place was called and he said "Prescriptions".

A fairly large and old store for the area. I did not stop in, but it looked to be busy.
