The twilight is long gone. In it's place now stands a Menard's store. So, why does the marquee look brand new? It was salvaged, that's why.
Now located across the street from its original location, the Twilite Drive-In Theater's neon sign continues to shine. An exterior wall at a home theater electronics store, called The Listening Room, had been painted to look like how the Drive-In looked from the street, then the sign got mounted to the wall. The effect borders on appearing like a trompe l'oeil.
Thanks again, must go to Thomas Mudd, who'd been given one hour to haul it away before demolition began, for showing this beautifull old neon sign.
You can see the sign across the street, or you can see it here.

Oh, the Twilite had two neon signs on its marquee. They were both salvaged. So, where is the other one, you ask? Right here...
