They don’t make them like this anymore

Neon signs like this are surely a sign of the past, this one is on an old motel’s property in one of the older parts of Dallas. I would love to see it at night but we are never in that area at night. I just like the look of it, electrical lines and all!
It is so high, it seems to be touching the lines!

Great old sign. Is the Motel still open?

Yes, I love these kinds of signs too. I agree, the wires add to the image. Great shot!

@henrir It does appear to be open! Which is pretty amazing considering where it is (Harry Hines!). @maggiemae that’s an optical illusion, I was in our car, this is a 35 mph photo, ha! @365karly1 I hope to see the neon graveyard in Las Vegas one of these days, there just aren’t that many of them now.

Wow cool find!

This does put you back to the 60's and 70's, doesn't it! I wonder if there are any around the Ft. Smith area any more - I'm never out at night so I'd never notice.

I love these old signs- a lot are still in use along the Jersey shore so that's really fun to see. Nice shot!

Great old sign.

Lovely shot of this great old sign.

Interest sign of the times well spotted Lou Ann, suspect its still in use today judging from the "Free WI-FI" on the sign:)

I wonder if the lights actually work still :)

@radiogirl @milaniet @olivetreeann @danette @ludwigsdiana @pcoulson @pistache @gilbertwood @gardenfolk Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and thank you @gardenfolk for your fave. This does still light up at night (I saw a photo of it at night on Trip Adviser). But it’s in a part of town you can drive through in the daylight, but wouldn’t want to stop in after dark, if you know what I mean. Smile.

It certainly makes a statement. I wish they did make signs like this again, they had so much character

What a great sign, a real step back in time moment.
June 9th, 2018  
Cool find
