True Nostalgia from Tulsa Sign Makers: L.A.’s Classic Neon Sign Glory

Before local Tulsa sign companies like Crown Neon Signs (as well as others all throughout the nation) became the trend for advertising signage, numerous American cities have been illuminated by neon signs dating as far back as the Roaring Twenties.  Major cities come into full play when neon signs pop into mind—Las Vegas, New York, Atlantic City—but there’s one city that deserves to be in the conversation.
Writing about her experiences in BBC Travel, journalist Bridget Gleeson said that she’s grateful that “an electric glow still illuminates countless vintage landmarks in Los Angeles’ urban landscape—from decorative antique theaters and old-fashioned apartment buildings to traditional mom-and-pop delicatessens and gloriously seedy cocktail bars;” much of which she attributes to a group of individuals aiming to preserve the city’s bright neon history.
