NEON ICONS
FOTOS: GLOWING TUBULAR MESSAGES
A FEW LAST FLASHING LIGHTS
Helping You To Find Your Way In The Dark
If you hunt in the right places, you can still find some old-school neon signs, radiating eerily in the blackness. They're often in the worst neighborhoods, old and poor, run down and dangerous, where the new design aesthetic has not yet quite penetrated. Seedy bars and tiny shops, ancient eateries and strip joints under the freeway, low-rent dives and trouble on a streetcorner. These signs are there to mark it all, so you can find it again next time you're looking for trouble on a quiet night.

Images processed with the FREE GIMP GNU Image Manipulation Program downloadable HERE. It works just like Photoshop, for a HELL of a lot less money. I'm sure you can do a better job with it than I did.
