Classic! Nice catch. Had they just uncovered it? I wonder if it had been neon.
Too bad the bicycle store closed. They owed me a tune-up. Wondering what is going to open. Perhaps another Indo-Pak restaurant?
It’s always a shame to see old neon signs no longer functioning or, in this case, for the tubes to have been completely removed. I know old neon is tricky and expensive to maintain, but it’s a shame to see them go.
The neon holes are there but the sign has been covered for a while. It was a bicycle shop and now the whole sign is coming down. Would have been a neat neon!
