Neon Magikist lips that used to be in Chicago

There used to be a set of those lips along the Eisenhower between Cicero & Western.

I remember the "Lips" !!! If you were ever lost on 87th Street, just look for the lips !!!

@trains74 Me too. It's too bad they were removed.

I remember the sign on 87th and the Dan Ryan. I live in Ohio now, but grew up in Chicago. My daughter used to see that sign and know that we were close to Grandma's house. I miss it, a true Chicago landmark.

I also like your video, I remeber the bright lights of the Oriental, State-Lake, McVickers, Woods, Chicago etc...

[slworking2]

Yeah, I remember those, too. Too bad the lips are all gone now. :-(

The Great White Way....that strip from what I have heard was loaded with neon signs...you can see a bunch in the picture....and the scene just before your clip shows the Trailways Bus Station. Cool Stuff. I have been trying to dig up more info on the neon, and somewhere on the internet I came up with the Great White Way...for the sign company White Way.

backwardk: Cool. Thanks for the trivia info. :-)

I never knew about that area of Chicago. But then again, I didn't grow up in Chicago.
