From the January 26, 2023 Tulsa People by Ethan Veenker.
I have been following these neon signs in Tulsa on the Route 66 News site.
Route 66 has attracted travelers from around the world in its near century of existence. Lately, those cruising through Tulsa's 28-mile stretch of the Mother Road will notice a fresh glow of neon lights adorning local businesses.
Like Ken Busby, executive director and CEI of the Route 66 Alliance said, "Oh, neon signs! We have some, but we could sure use more." As I have often said, "You can never have too much neon."
The Route 66 Neon Sign Grant, the brainchild of the City of Tulsa's Route 66 Commission, began granting funds in 2019 for businesses along the road to to install or refurbish their own neon storefront signs.
