Great look at this sign, which looks like it was a marvel of the chase bulbs once so prevalent in the Chicago area.
Vintage motel with a classic sign in Las Vegas, August 23, 2018. The place next door was Elvis-themed, hence the pink Cadillac in the right foreground–looks like a ‘68. Places like this are part of the past in Vegas; they are being demolished en masse elsewhere in the city.

The oldest operating McDonald’s restaurant is a drive-up hamburger stand at 10207 Lakewood Blvd. at Florence Ave. in Downey, California, USA. It was the third McDonald’s restaurant, and opened on August 18, 1953. It was the second restaurant franchised by Richard and Maurice McDonald, prior to the involvement of Ray Kroc in the company, and it still has the two original 30-ft “Golden Arches” and a 60-ft animated neon “Speedee” sign that was added in 1959. The restaurant is now the oldest in the chain still in existence and is one of Downey’s main tourist attractions. Along with its sign, it was deemed eligible for addition to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, although it was not added because the owner objected.

Vintage 50’s-era matchbook from the ‘STRIP CITY’ nightclub; located on Western Avenue (at Pico), in Los Angeles..
The iconic but somewhat faded sign for the late & lamented Moon Motel along US Route 9 in Howell, New Jersey. A recent trip to Maryland allowed me a chance to detour into New Jersey (with mixed results) where at least I was able to confirm the survival of this midcentury relic, seen in happier times here. Photos from April 4, 2018.
