A retro colored sign for a lounge that highlights 'Go Go Girls.' What? Yes, and both of those signs are in the same Upstate New York city (see photo). A neon chef with a hatchet in his hand chasing a harried chicken? That one is awesome. Here is a first collection of awesome neon (and other) signs still blinking and dazzling after all these years. Most of these are long gone.īut there are some, and we will feature many of them in this and future galleries.
Especially found in areas like the Catskills and Adirondacks, these signs welcomed weekenders to campsites, motels and diners with neon Indian heads, flashing stars and sunbursts, and even kitschy Jetson-style 'modern' spaceship designs.
