Thanks, Vintage Roadside, for turning me onto this refurbished neon sign!

I stood as far as I could from the north side of the sign, out of the overhanging tree limbs filled with leaves, and took this photo on Tuesday night at 7:29 p.m., with a Nikon D5100. I don't have a tripod; the photo is a bit tilted down to the right. Gorgeous paint job and fully functional neon. Hooray! Thanks, Palms! See below for almost the same shot, before darkness had arrived.
 

Here's the south side of the sign. I walked up onto the landing of some wrought iron stairs. I'm afraid of heights and couldn't get myself to go up one more flight. Maybe next time. Took this one at 7:32 p.m. with the D5100. Too bad the leaves cover the capital L a little bit.



I took this one at 6:31 p.m., with the D5100. You can really tell how swell the paint looks.

I took this one from the window of a Zipcar which I had driven into the parking lot and put into park, at 9:36 p.m. on May 16, 2010, with a Nikon D50. It's easy to see the spotty paint and neon.

Neon man-made greens.

I adore this sign on Interstate Avenue.


Love this one, too, which is also on Interstate Avenue.


And one more beaut, also on Interstate Avenue.


Here's one more that I enjoy seeing on SE Hawthorne.


Kelly's Olympian at night, with a Green Cab out front.


Here's the whole store front for Kelly's Olympian. By the way, these two photos were taken in 2007. The Kelly's photo on Sunday's post was just taken on Saturday, October 23, 2010.


Last but not least, my absolute favorite neon sign here in Portland. At some point in the future, it will read Portland, Oregon.
