Thanks for the link!Growing up in the San Fernando Valley,I remember so many of those signs,espescially the liquor store signs.My family were always night owls like I still am,and I would look forward to seeing that big Circus Liquor clown on the way to my grandparents house.I dont know how many times I begged my dad to stop at that liquor store,just so I could hang around underneath it.
I havent looked at the rest of the site,but I bet you a lot of those drive-in and hamburger joint signs from So-Cal would qualify too.
Thanks for that great trip down amnesia lane.
