Forgot to post this one I took last week. They leveled the old building, and built a new one, but kept the old sign.

Alexandria, VA. Route 1

Krispy Kreme didn't last very long out here. No one I meant liked them, soggy and way to sweet! I almost typed SWEAT, Freudian Slip I suppose! ;)

We were in Denver last weekend, staying in two different modern hotels; one in Golden, the other out near the airport. However, on the way from one hotel to the other (we wanted to spend the last night close to the airport), we drove out what I think was US 40. There were dozens of old-fashioned motels (motor hotels). But I don't remember any distinctive neon signs. Signs for pot, yes (18-medicinal, 21-recreational).

No other neon signs come to mind but one sign I saw as a child I remember very well: "Cross the Bridge and Save a Dollar." It was in Bluefield, West Virginia. It was advertising a furniture store on the other side of the railroad yard. Don't know if it was neon or not.
