The Flame Club in Sacramento
still features a sign that glows throughout the night.
Much of the signage built during the space age era can be found with
holes either at the base of the marquee or on the sign itself. These "weight
saving" holes were thought to be an efficient use of material, since
no structural rigidity was lost.

more.
