Wagons in vintage Street scenes

I love those street scenes and REAL cars.
We have a dome like the one above here in our little town. It's used for ice skating, car events, and lots of activities.

 

Wonder why neon signs disappeared. Neon doesn't need much elctricity to power them and they look good. Entering a technical stone age sucks.

 

They probably stopped then go-ed!
I'm amazed how here back in my hometown how many really don't stop at stop signs. In Florida at least most of them slowed down.

About neon signs. Somewhere on this internet I read about old motels that still have the old neon signs. Just south of Montgomery, Ala on rt 231 we'd pass a long narrow motel. I think it was called Shady Pines... or something pines. It was among pine trees and I'd remembered it listed in that neon article. Reminded me of the Bates Motel in the movie.
Anyway I'd driven like 750 miles and decided to spend the nite. It had the looks of a 5o's place and that flashing neon sign attracted me. Not many neon signs and I kinda like them too.

We have a red neon beer sign with our last name on it I bought almost 24 years ago at a Florida flea market.
My wife always says NO when I see a flashing neon sign on a business with the words "GIRLS" on it.

 

She ought to be satisfied, when you don't see flashing neon signs with the words "BOYS", Sir. Women can be insatiable, at times. Men too, to be fair.

 

We have one in town that says Hot Women and Cold Beer. Off Limits for me...
