@angiecan1973 I well remember that sign. It has been in three locations during my lifetime. Originally it was on the Woods'Brothers Coffee building ( what was it? Harold and Clarence Woods?) looking west on Campbell Ave. Next it was on the old hotel looking north that Billy Ritz was in on the ground floor. And now it is looking north from the top another old hotel building. Back when downtown Roanoke was THE place for shopping and entertainment, there were dozens of similar neon signs.
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL! great post. thanks for showing one of our favorite signs that has been totally refurbished and put back into working order for all to enjoy for many years more!
Thanks for a wonderful clip from my past, in my hometown.
