  • Have you heard me talk about the group in Tucson that is working to resurrect, and put in working order, all the old neon in Tucson? Giant neon saguaro, vertical TUCSON on the airport control tower, jack-knifing diver into swimming pool (animated), lots of old motel signs. I think it's the smartest "re-make" of Tucson anyone has come up with. Back to the Past.

  • You were telling me about it when I visited. Old neon is definitely hot right now. I certainly admire signs like this. Great typeface. I like the way the joints in the letters are handled, with the neon tubes crossing over from one side to the other.
