 Star Lite Room
A huge red star with white letters for the Star Lite Room on
Moorpark St. in Studio City. A yellow swoop surrounds
the star. Drop by for a drink and tell them how much you
love their sign!

Darby's Coffee Shop
HAD a cool retro teal sign with giant white scripty
letters. It has now been replaced by a rather unimaginitive
plastic sign.

 Lorenzen Mortuary
In the San Fernando Valley. A cool neon sign above a Spanish
Style tile roof.

Time
To Buy
A
work of neon art giving Ventura Blvd. its eclectic charm. The red arrow
is
animated. It circles the clock and points to the door. I
caught it just as the last arrow lights.

Hyland
Hotel
One
of my
personal favorites, The Hyland Motel sits on colorful Sepulveda Blvd.
and Hyland Ave.
Update 8/2005: This gem has now been torn down and replaced by a
plastic sign.

Rocket
Liquor
On Vanowen Blvd,
it is Probably named for the missile and
spacecraft rockets built across the street at Rocketdyne. |
The
Reseda Theatre
This
neon sign
graces the art deco facade of the theater. The building is now
for sale and the signs future remains uncertain.
|
Corbin
Bowl
This Famous bowling alley has hosted
Hollywood stars and children's birthday parties as a
Ventura Blvd. landmark for decades. It is actually a mix of neon
and Googie. |
Rubin's
Red Hot
I
retouched this
photo to remove the For Sale sign and other extraneous crud so you
could see the whole Rubin...
Rubin's Red Hot hot dog stand
occupies prime real estate on Ventura and Sepulveda Blvds. It's on the
market, but where will the sign go? |
