We just had to get one of the downtown neons while in the area.
The Main part of downtown was really busy when we were here.
There was some type of event so all those good neons there are still open to find and Waymark.
Restoration included many repairs to the building, as well as the restoration of the marquee, which had fallen into disrepair. Thanks to a matching federal grant program by the National Park Service Route 66 Preservation Program to restore neon signs along Route 66, the El Rey Theater was awarded a grant, which was administered by the Route 66 Association. The completion of this sign restoration marks the end of Phase I of the revitalization of the Puccini Building. The Downtown Action Team graciously contributed to the completion of this sign, which enabled its anchor venue to once again thrive. The sign was restored by RAM Sign Company.
Enjoy the show.
