OCTOBER 18
Howdy Burger is the 31st sign to benefit from Tulsa's Route 66 Neon Sign grant.
It is on the 11th Street alignment of Route 66 at 1516 E. 11th Street.
As I have oft said, you can never have too much neon.

OCTOBER 20
The rooftop letters have been taken down from the old Gardenway Motel in Villa Ridge, Missouri.
They, along with the structure were getting increasingly dilapidated. Plans are to eventually display them at the forthcoming museum and visitor center at the Red Cedar Inn in nearby Pacific, Missouri,
The Gardenway Motel closed in 2014 after years of decline. Two years ago, its front neon sign was taken down. It was built in 1946 and apparently demolition is near.
We always enjoyed driving by this lace, but at least they are keeping those giant letters.
