Some sad news to round out the night. Apparently Erie-LaSalle Body Shop sold to Gerber Collision & Glass, and with it, their iconic neon sign has left it's perch along Milwaukee Avenue. For the time being it's gone to Industrial Artifacts of DeKalb, IL. Photo from December 5th, 2025

…. I think these should be made in to real neon signs 🤔

Rudi Stern: Jeff’s Bike (1984) Considered the primary architect of the 20th-century neon revival, Rudi Stern’s influence on the craft is unmatched. This work, 61 1/4"×37 1/2", is currently in the studio for restoration & refresh. Note: the bike frame is black light, so almost no visible light.

Unsurprisingly, I wanted one of these growing up. But my use of the phone was primarily limited to 56kbps

Dear weather gods, if you could stop, that would be great. I'd like to get back home. kthx.

I was at the Twin Cities Public Television studios last night for a VocalEssence spot on @tptalmanac.bsky.social, and this neon apple was in the break room. I wonder if this is the apple that was part of the set of the old KTCA show Newton’s Apple? @scifri.bsky.social ?

Digging through an old drive today and found neon sign photos from my first trip to Hong Kong back in February 2005. The sheer amount of neon in the Kowloon area was impressive and gave a unique glow to the streets. #neonsigns #streetphotography #neonlove #hongkong

One of my favourites, from Vancouver's Chinatown. the rest of the store sold toys & stationery & miscellaneous small novelties

The toenail moon shines over Club Raven. I can gush over one thing or another....

"KreuzBurger" The food was always delicious. The lighting that night was just right. #kreuzberg #berlin #fotografie #burger #photography #fastfood #fremdstolz

The Edmonton Neon Museum.

I’m not great at the side joins but let’s see if this baby pumps.

Happy Day of Hearts! Here is a fun video that I made while bending the glass for a neon heart. Watch until the end to see the finished piece. #neon #neonlight #heart #heartofglass #neonsign #heartofglass #process

Not neon - just taking a moment to appreciate how amazing this red vinyl version of Man Machine looks

"What the world needs now, is love, sweet love." I removed the broken pieces from a neon beer sign and replaced with a couple of hearts. #neonlight #neonheart #lovesweetlove

Love this neon sign of the original Post Bar in #Detroit. The bar first opened in 1978 near Cobo Hall, but moved to its new location on Broadway in 2024. Now the original sign is inside the bar (with a smaller version outside). File under TMI. #DetroitHistory #history

A neon cinema sign in winter. Electric light cutting through the cold and the dark. Shot on Fujifilm. #photography #fujifilm #neon #neonoir #cinematic

Here's a great picture of the Rialto theater marquee on Broadway in DTLA. No longer a theater, but an Urban Outfitters store (or was at the time of this photo, 2016). Not going into the photoset that'll be a premium for KS backers of the new Hazeland book. Bummer. cc @electronvalve.co

This one's for pal @electronvalve.co - Taken by me in 2015 at Grand Central Market in Los Angeles.

Don't besmirch the good name of neon. That is clearly a Chinese LED channel light sign reminiscent of neon. #aliexpress

Cricket Theatre. Collinsville, Alabama

In Warsaw literally right now (please enjoy this neon cow sign)

Unless you like spicy water, this seems like a bad idea. Just sayin’

Already found one in SF. Quite superb.

A sign that I made for the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia several years back. It was for a David Bowie themed art show. Bromo blue glass gives the nicest color! #neon #neonsign #davidbowie #wecanbeheroes

Like many in the neighborhood, Abe is a little startled at this neon outage. #neon #neonsigns

Need more dopamine! Here is my version of The Walking Eye. I filled this one with krypton gas. #neon #neonart #walkingeye

Took my last ride on Dinosaur and di my last walkthrough of Restaurantosaurus last night. Took lots of pictures of course but for now I will just post this fantastic neon sign

Have a solid night/morning/whatever it is wherever you are. 📸: The Dalles, Oregon

Elephant Car Wash sign, a Seattle landmark designed by Beatrice Haverfield and fabricated by Campbell Neon in 1956. Bea was the creative force behind some of Seattle's most iconic signs, including Ivar's and Dick's Drive-In. Found it by chance on the last day of my visit. Glad I did!

As I think of Minneapolis, this architecture geek is also thinking about the many cool buildings found throughout the city, including one of my favorites: Murray's, "Home of the Silver Butter Knife Steak,” open since 1946.

Inside the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, OH. This place is so cool! I was here in 2024 and if you're a regular follower you know I've raved about this place. It's a repository for so many old unique signs. Many of the most impressive ones are of course neon and were rescued and refurbished.

someone made a therian neon sign at the makerspace

One of my favourite public art works in Glasgow. The Empire sign by Douglas Gordon (1998) is a reverse-written, illuminated neon sign referring to Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and exploring the Merchant City's historical ties to the slave trade and the British Empire.

Neon Fuck

Coffee and neon are basically my two favorite things.

I first tried to photograph this at night more than 20 years ago, one month after Joe Marty's El Chico restaurant had closed due to a fire. A new restaurant didn't move in and fire up the sign again until after I had moved away from Sacramento. Got the shot last night coming back from SMF.

A door that leads to spicy fate, To salsa songs and empty plate. But past the glow, the silence grows, Where no one asks and no one knows. #photography #NightPhotography #nightcrawlers

@gottalaff.bsky.social I went to the Hammer Museum to hear a friend give a lecture (on Matisse) this afternoon. In the galleries I saw this neon sign art: 🍸🐈

Late night in Hell. #photography #fujifilm #pdx
