Neon homepage

Some of my earlist childhood memories are neon related beautiful bursts of brilliant color in the dark night..The era of the giant neon spectaculars has long passed and only a few aging relics, like the Kiddyland sign pictured below, still operate. Over the years I have taken phtographs and collected other images of neon. Now I would like to share them with you. I also have a You Tube station where you can view more colored lights in the night. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MindsiMedia

BUCA Restraunt off Highland at Butterfield Rd. in Lombard good eating and great neon.

KIDDYLAND; North & 1st Ave. Melrose Pk. Though there spectacular main sign is in somewhat of a state of desrepair this is a lovely old time amusement park. Aimed at kids between 3-12 this park contains a number beautiful rides. There is a jumbo Merry Go Round with hand painted scenes in the center. A miniture train that you can ride around the park and much more. Sadly this gem may soon make way for a CostCo

ARCHER & PULASKI (R.I.P.)

A little off the beaten track this intersection is home to these signs. The Miami bowl 72 lanes is open 24 hours. The Tangiers , Rolling Wheels & Jazzy Florist are all within a block of there. Alas since this page was put together the area has undergone redevelopment and the Miami is gone.

tThe coolest collection of neon outside of Las Vegas can be found in this compact museum in downtown LA. They also run A series of Double decker bus tours during the spring and summer.
