This is among my all time favorite Youtube videos! Hope one day to do the same kind of video here at home. There are a few good signs out there!

@zathras9now I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I do plan to do more local video - as time allows. :-)

@zathras9now When I was growing up, I loved neon signs. There were so many good ones in my hometown. Also I was excited to go to New York in 1953 with my father as a big reason was to see neon signs. In the 60's, neon faded and most signs were plastic and back lite with floresent tubes. In the 80's and 90's, neon made a modest comback but never did out number plastic/back lit signs as it did in the decades of it's glory, and now is almost gone here thanks to LED.

@boblackey1 Since I was born in the 60's, I missed the real heyday. Luckily, there were some, most notably the fabulous Holiday Inn big sign, and there was a local company, Ace Neon that had a sign with every color imaginable on it. There was one large thoroughfare nearby that had a string of great 60's neon and/or marques lights all lined up in a row: Krispy Kreme, Arby's, Shoney's Big Boy, and Holiday Inn. But as you say, in the late 70's and 80's, it almost all vanished. That's progress?

I loved this, thank you so much, and the music fits perfectly!

This really is beautiful and the music makes it twice as nice.

Love neon signs, with or without thunderstorms. Thanks for putting this together. Very professional job documenting the memories of former kids looking out the car window into the night.

What is the background song?

[zathras9now]

Awesome!!

@emmy1cat I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Indeed the comments garnered by this video give me such joy. It means a lot to me to know that a person can share a passion that is idiosyncratic to most folks and others who get something out of it. I'm glad to hear from y'all!

[mcairo67]

I love all your motel sign videos. You did an outstanding job. Great musical choices as well.

[hatless089]

For some reason, I've always had a technical problem with reply-messages. So I'm trying again to thank you all for your kind comments. Knowing that folks like you appreciate my videos makes all the work worthwhile.

Happy Motoring!
