Vintage Neon

The Circle Theater (1 screen, 500 seats) opened in Dallas TX in 1947 at the old Harry Hines traffic circle. (Ernest Tub performed live at the opening) Last re-branded as the Carnival Disco before it closed in December of 2013, it has been through multiple reincarnations as a wrestling arena, bingo hall and a Tejano dance hall called Baby-o's. I remember attending feature films there in the early 60's when it's neon was all functional. It was truly spectacular.

[quote=Sirius_one]Very good set; don't you just love that neon?[/quote
An art form in it's own way.... Along with baked enamel signage, the really elaborate displays seem to be on their way out..... Another 'sign' of the times.... :)

Great colors.
Just wish I could jump in Mr. Peabody's Way-back machine & shoot it in it's heyday!
