The Peking Garden sign is interesting, in that the building itself had burned down, was razed, and the lot was left empty for a long time, but the sign remained. The restaurant was then rebuilt and the sign re-energized. 07-07

The Golden Dragon Restaurant in Portland, OR features not one but two eye-catching signs. The Buffet marquee on top of the roof looks rather weathered. The green sign to the near right also looks rather long for wear as it advertises the Golden Dragon chop suey and cocktails. 09-10
